The local farm is not accessible. cmdlets with featuredependencyid are not registered

Dears,

Hope this mail finds you well.

We are facing an issue with our SharePoint server while opening either the Windows PowerShell or SharePoint Management Shell, throwing an error as “The local farm is not accessible..”.

I tried to run the Shell with an older version with the following one but still the issue persists.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -version 3 -NoExit " & ' C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\sharepoint.ps1 ' "

Kindly note that all the sites and Central Administration are down in the Internet development environment. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi @Fahed Kollikavil,

Usually this is because of a permission issue against the config database. If you go in to your DB select the _config DB and check out the permissions for the user you are logged in as you will probably see you do not have shell access.

You could refer to following steps to troubleshooting in this article

Hi,

Kindly note that the permissions for the user (used this account to log into SharePoint server) has been already granted but still the issue persists.

Hi @Fahed Kollikavil,

You could use the Get-SPShellAdmin cmdlet to get the list of all the users having the "SharePoint_Shell_Access" role to check if the user have. Also have a look at following solution if you are using SharePoint 2010

Hi, I have tried with the emntioned cmdlet but still it displays that local farm is not accessible. Is it possible to have a remote session to fix this issue. Thanks

Hi @Fahed Kollikavil,Due to policy reasons, our forum currently does not support remote connections. I would recommend you to raise a ticket in Customer service phone numbers. You could get remote session and more professional advice there. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT ,

We took the remotely support from Microsoft, they recommended to rebuild the server farm, and it is in progress now.

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT ,

We have restored the production site backup into development server, and we are facing the following issue. DO we need to install all the SharePoint security patches after rebuilding the farm. Please confirm.

Hi @Fahed Kollikavil,

SharePoint farm deployments require that all servers have the same patch level when joining the farm. It may also be desired to have a specific patch level when building a new farm. But you could use following steps to edit the verison of schema
