SharePoint 2010: User Profiles - You receive an error - "An unexpected error has occurred." when you try to browse to the page to Manage a newly created User Profile Service Application

  • Article

You create a new User Profile Service Application and try browsing to the Manage link for the User Profile Service Application, this page might fail with the following error,

clip_image001

If you filter on the "User Profiles" category in the ULS Logs, you should see these errors:

UserProfileServiceUserStatisticsWebPart:LoadControl failed,
Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.UserProfileServiceStatisticsWebPartBase.LoadControl(Object sender, EventArgs e)

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.UserProfileServiceStatisticsWebPartBase.LoadControl(Object sender, EventArgs e)

This is an expected behaviour if the User Profile Synchronization Service is started on the SharePoint server hosting Central Administration. A recycle of IIS services is required to get this working. This is actually mentioned on the page that is displayed when starting the "User Profile Synchronization Services".

    Thank you - I feel rather ridiculous now, having created and deleted services 4 times in a row

    I did the IISRESET, but still I am getting the same error.

    @Kalyan - If the call stack is exactly the same and the issue reproduces after creating the UPA, then an iisreset usually fixes it. I have not faced this same issue otherwise.
