How to create a SharePoint State Service application through PowerShell

If you configure the SharePoint service applications manually and not run the configuration wizard, you will miss creating the State Service Application as it is not listed down as a service application option in Central Administration -> Manage Service applications page. ( This Service Application is not available for creation in the New dialog in Central Administration, Manage Service Application)

So it should be created through PowerShell. Below are the commands to create one :

$serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service Application"

New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "SharePoint_Service_State" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp

New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "State Service Application Proxy" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup
