To fix this error, login with your Administrator account and create a search service user and add them to the WSS_ADMIN_WPG group.

To do this :

1. Open SharePoint 2013 PowerShell

$SearchServ = Get-Credential [Your Search Account]

New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $SearchServ 

After executing these steps you need to do one more thing.

Go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server" in your server and find the

folder that starts with "Analytics" this looks something like Analytics_GUID

Right click properties on the folder -> Sharing -> Advanced Sharing

Check the Share this folder check box and leave the name alone and click on permissions..

Here leave the Everyone as Read only ( Default )

Then Add the Search Service Account user you created and give Full Control

Then Add WSS_ADMIN_WPG group and give the Full control for this also.

3. After this try running the configuration wizard it will run seccuesfully..
