Windows SharePoint Services Search won't stop - sharepoint

Background: I had been asked to create a second Sharepoint application server to reprovision the one that is currently in the SharePoint Farm. I installed the os, SharePoint, and SP1. I then began the process of moving all the services on to the new server. (The central farm consists of 2 WFE and 1 App server, each on W2K8).
Problem: I had trouble with the SharePoint Configuration Wizard completing the upgrade. Believing that it was due to a problem with search I stopped both Search Services ( goodbye indexes). Afterward, I still had trouble moving them. I then decided to create a new SSP since my hours of web crawling provided evidence that this would help fix my problems. It nearly did. I got the Office SharePoint Server Search started. However Windows SharePoint Services Search is stuck in the "Stopping" status. So now what? the farm mostly works, has an indexer, but no WSS search even with a new Shared Service Provider.
Is there a way to force it stopped? I've tried psconfig, but maybe I don't have the right voodoo to kill the service completely.
I've included a stack trace from the logs that I beleive is part of the problem...
The error log stack trace:

It looks like the service is running under the 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON, that can't be right?!?
To actually "kill" the process do the following:
1.Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys simultaneously, and then click on Task Manager. Alternatively, right click on taskbar and select Task Manager. You can also start Task Manager by manually starting “taskmgr” from Run command in Start Menu.
2.In the Windows Task Manager window, locate and select (highlight) the application or program that’s not responding. In your system is crawling and extremely slow in responding, you may also check out for services or processes that using too much CPU resources or memory resources.
3.Click on End Task.
4.A Task Manager Warning dialog saying “Terminating a process can cause undesired results including loss of data and system instability. The process will not be given the chance to save its state or data before it is terminated. Are you sure you want to terminate the process?” will appear. Confirm the process by clicking on OK or End Now.
From here

Here is something to try:
Find the SPSearch service in the W2K8 Services tab.
Right click the service and shut down. You might, as I did, receive an error stating that the handler is wrong. (BTW: make sure that you are logged into the server as the farm service account just to be safe)
Click on the Services button from here... you could have gone and managed the services directly from the management console also.
Goto SPSsearch>Properties>Log On tab. Make Logon as local system account.
Stop the service
Make Logon as your service account. Add the passwords
Start up type should be automatic. Then start the service here.
Go back to the Central Administration page.
Start the Service from here if it isn't started.
At this point you should have a working service both on the server and within the Farm Context. At least I did. Your milage may vary

Are you able to install sp2?
Stopping the search service actually works after sp2.

ManagedIdentityCredential authentication unavailable when running from Visual Studio

I recently configured our Azure App Service and Azure SQL Server to use managed identity access. The App Service has System assigned managed identity and has the correct assigned role as Owner for the SQL database. When I publish my code to the app service it works just fine and is able to access the database.
My issue is that I cannot connect to the database through my app when running it locally through Visual Studio. My Azure account is set as the Azure Active Directory admin on SQL Server and I'm able to open up the connection and run queries through Azure Data Studio when I'm signed in.
I'm using the same account through Visual Studio, even unlinked and relinked it under the Tools -> Options -> Azure Service Authentication / Account Selection. But when I try and run the app locally I get the error ManagedIdentityCredential authentication unavailable. Multiple attempts failed to obtain a token from the managed identity endpoint.
The error doesn't give me much to work with because I'm not sure how to see the full view of what is being tried in order to authenticate. I'm not using any code on my end to obtain an access token since I'm just letting the Microsoft SQLClient obtain it for me through my connection string.
Here is the full stacktrace of the error, anything that can point me in the right direction would be appreciated. My guess is it has something to do with Visual Studios probably needing to be allowed to get an access token on my behalf, but I figured since I'm signed into my azure account it might not matter.

By using Authentication=\"Active Directory Managed Identity\" you will tell your application to use only managed identity authentication. This can only be used if you are actually running as an Azure resource. You cannot use Managed Identity authentication with your personal account.
By using Active Directory Default as the value, the system will try multiple variants:
Authenticate with an Azure AD identity by using password-less and non-interactive mechanisms including Managed Identities, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Azure CLI, etc.

AAD-Integrated Authentication with Azure Active Directory fails

We have an ADFS setup completed on one of our Azure virtual machine, and we have one Sql managed Instance created in azure portal.
We have federated our domain and successfully connected with 'Sql managed Instance' via AAD-Integrated authentication from SSMS.
Our problem is that when we try to connect this Sql managed Instance from our IIS application with AAD-Integrated authentication method
(string ConnectionString = #"Data Source=XXXXXXXXX; Authentication=Active Directory Integrated; Initial Catalog=testdb;")
, we get the following error on screen:

Also we checked into ADFS logged issues and got the following error logged as follows:

The Federation Service encountered an error while processing the WS-Trust request.

Exception details:

Are we missing anything in the whole process?
Edit1:
I have one confusion regarding federated domain. The domain which we are using in our client machine, has to be primary domain in our Azure active directory OR can it be just in custom domain list in Azure active directory?
Edit2:
Finally, we were successful in connecting to our IIS application via AAD-Integrated authentication. We just changed our application pool's identity from ApplicationPoolIdentity(default option) to our domain user and voila, it worked like a charm. Hope somebody can get benefited from this.

Office Web Apps - Excel Web App causing errors

Edit
I have moved the application to a VM and still receive the same exception

When running on IIS7 - you can specify to load the user profile of the App Pool. This gives you access to the per user store of the app pool account.
This is what you would expect from Windows Azure Web Sites. You're running in a shared environment together with other Web Sites and for security reasons there are a many things you cannot do.
If you want full control of the machine where your web application is hosted (like full access to the certificate store, making changes in the registry, ...) you should deploy your application to a Web Role.

Sharepoint: COM exception thrown when navigating to the root of a new site collection

After a fresh install of WSS 3.0 and creation of a new web application and site collection, I receive the following error when I navigate to the newly create site:
[COMException (0x80070005): Access is denied.

Seems to me like the application pool account does not have rights to do lookups in your Active Directory.. try running them using a domain account instead of network service.
What type of install do you choose for WSS (e.g. Standalone or Farm)?
As the installation is failing on DirectoryEntry.Bind it looks like an Active Directory issue. Is everything OK with your service accounts? Have you checked Event Viewer for any errors?
You should NEVER use Network Service as the app pool account, It is a user known only on themachine the site is ran on. Create an Active Directory user in your domain to run the app pool under. Then, in the Central Admin website under Operations -> Security Configuration -> Service Accounts set the new user for the app pool
