INTRODUCTION

Following my other post about User Profile service instantiation, the service is now fully started but when I click on the User Profile Service Application link I get an error message straight away.

When I looked in the log I get the following:

==

User Profile Application Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException: No User Profile Application available to service the request. Contact your farm administrator.     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_ApplicationProperties()     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_PartitionIDs()     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.IsAvailable(SPServiceContext serviceContext)

==

RESOLUTION

Just do an IISRESET on the server and the problem will go away.

Cheers,
