SP2013: Create New Service Application Button Disabled

An issue was reported where the server admins were observing "New" button disabled while trying to create a new service application.

They were using the farm admin account with all privileges along with local admin access.

This looked perplexed to me, but I found a fix that worked out.

Here are the steps to follow

  1. > Go to Internet Options --> Security--> Intranet Sites
  2. > Make sure that the protected mode is turned off
  3. > Then add the Central admin url into the sites under Intranet Sites.
  4. > Open a new browser (Run as admin), and you are ok to go.
