Failed to Register SharePoint Services in PSConfig

Unfortunately this happens on Stand Alone servers more often than you would think. Good news is that there is a really quick way to fix this.

Open up Regedit and browse to:

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

Create the following key:

Type: DWORD

Name: AcknowledgedRunningOnAppServer 
Value: 1

Then do the same thin in the following registry:

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

No need to restart, just rerun PSConfig and you should be good to go.
