Failed to Register SharePoint Service in PSConfig Error

While running the PSconfig it got failed when it was trying to Register the SharePoint Services.

This happens only on Stand Alone servers.

Fix

Open up registry

 

Browse to 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\15\LauncherSettings

Create a key : DWORD

Name :  AcknowledgedRunningOnAppServer

Value : 1 

Now go to below registry 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\15\LoadBalancerSettings

Create a key : DWORD

Name :  AcknowledgedRunningOnAppServer

Value : 1 

Now re-run the PSconfig and all will be good now.

Happy SharePointing :)
