Initiall SharePoint Server 2013 setup -- unable to manage new User Profile Service Application

During initial farm setup, creating an initial User Profile Service Application works fine.  However, once it's created, I cannot 'manage' it through the Manage Service Applications page in central
admin.
I get a generic error (Sorry, something went wrong / unexpected error) with a correlation ID that doesn't seem to match any ULS log entries. (Yes, I merged logs from all machines in the farm.)
A Windows event log entry says:
A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: Endpoint Failure
Also frequent errors in ULS logs:  (see below)
UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException     
User Profile Application      Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Micro…
SPDistributedCache DataCacheException
I did notice that the file 'ProfileService.svc does not exist in SharePoint's web services app at the URL you see in the error. (below)
I also found it interesting that the event log error shows 1 active endpoint and 3 failed endpoints.  I have 2 WFEs and 2 app servers.  But I'm only trying to get the user profile service app running on the application
servers.  I have deleted and recreated this service app several times under various names (deleted/recreated its app pool as well) and wonder if these other failed endpoints could be orphans from previous instances...
Any thoughts on how I might successfully create this service application?  I've already been Binging my head against a wall long enough that I would have been better off reinstalling the entire farm...  I may still
do that.
FYI, my farm came from a slipstreamed SP1 install package, and received the July CU after several other things were already configured, including the already-failed UP service application.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I performed the service restarts, and then an iisreset an the two web servers, and the application server that does not run the services.  Finally, I ran iisreset on the application server that does run the services.
After performing those steps, I still cannot manage the user profile service application.
ULS log at the time of the attempt contains User Profile Application Proxy errors (in my original post) and am also noticing the following error:

    Hi Abhishek,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the User Profile Synchronization service stuck on ‘Starting’ or ‘Stopping’.
    Please check whether you installed SQL 2012 Native Client (Pre-requisites) on SharePoint server. If yes, download and install SQL 2008 R2 Native Client from the below location:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/1/3/9138773A-505D-43E2-AC08-9A77E1E0490B/1033/x64/sqlncli.msi
    From the SharePoint server ->control panel -> add/Remove programs , please confirm that the SQL 2008 Native Client is listed.
    Make sure that the farm account is a member of the Administrators group on the server on which you are trying to start the User Profile Synchronization service, then restart the SharePoint Timer Service.
    Set the FIM services to "Local System" before starting the service.
    There is a troubleshooting for User Profile Synchronization Service start issues, please have a look at:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750257(v=office.14).aspx
    Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

  • Sharepoint 2010 User Profile Service Application

    Should I have the need to completely delete and reinstall the User Profile Service Application, will that prevent user logins. We have a great number of users with various grouped and departmentalized permissions and such. I am trying to determine if it
    is completely safe to delete the UPSA without messing up the permissions and logins. Please advise.

    Your UPA deletion will not effect permission on sharepoint site. 

  • Workflow Manager & User Profile Service Application for Extranet Web application

    Hi,
    Recently i have setup HA WF Manager farm and associated it with Intranet web application (on-prem). Now i want to use the same farm for our extranet environment (on-prem) but extranet environment is not associated with UPA. Since user profile application
    is not available for extranet environment so workflow does not work.
    Now if I try to use existing UPA or create a new UPA for extranet environment, then i am exposing users data to all partner and collaborators. But for workflows to work it is necessary that users profile should be there in profile database.
    Is there any way that I can run workflows in extranet environment without exposing user profile data to partners/collaborators? Thanks.
    -Prashant

    Thanks for the reply Paul, but this does not solve the problem.
    Actually in MySite web application external users group is not at all added with any permissions but just to check your suggestion i have given permission to externals group with Deny Read permission. Now UPA is associated to the extranet web application
    and when i access user profile data using RESP API using a partner account I can still see the data. For e.g. I am using this URL
    https://extranet.abc.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='abc\uname'
    When I hit this URL in browser using partner account, it shows the profile data of the account passed in the URL.
    MySite web application is https://mysite.abc.com and on this web application external users group is added under policy with Deny Read permissions. Thanks.

  • SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM
    was set up to access the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate
    to search service app admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is
    in a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    been upgraded. 
    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem
    with Search Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that  SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App did not work on Windows server 2012 R2.
    Please make sure you configure Search Service Application correctly. You can refer to:Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
    I recommend to created new Search Service Application, and made a full crawl. Then assigned the new SSA as the default SSA for webapplications. Finnlay checked  the issue doesnt occur now,
    If all search related components now are online, to keep the enviroonment clean, you can delete the old SSA.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • SharePoint 2010; Re-using profile and social database in User profile service applicaiton

    Hi
    Using ms server 2008r2, sql 2008r2, 2 WFE and 1 Appserver and SQL cluster.
    I have restored my User profile service application using restored databases profileDB and SocialDB, the SyncDB was recreated as i had problems starting the user profile synchronization service when using the old SyncDB.
    I mangaged to create and start a full conections sync to Active Directory and got all my 6000 profiles inn. Ok.
    This morning I noticed that the number of user profiles was only 2000, so im wondering what could have happened..
    I did notice that the user sync was very slow yesterday.
    ps; I did not think/know about exporting the Microsoft Identity Integration Server Key (MIIS) encryption key earlier,
    so i dont have this key. That is probably why the backuped old synchDB did not work. 
    Any ideas?
    brgs

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg576965(v=office.14).aspx Under
    " Back up a User Profile Service service application (UPA) using SQL Server tools " :
    It is very important to export the "Microsoft Identity Integration Server Key (MIIS) encryption key" from the old environment to the new farm, when restoring the UPA to a new farm. The reason being is that you will be unable to start the UPA synchronization
    service with the restored SynchDB without importing this key. And if you only use the restored SocialDB and ProfileDB with a new SynchDB, you will experience problems with losing Profiles in your UPA.
    My initial sync gave me all 6000 users, while this morning I suddenly had 2700:-).
    My problem is that we deleted the old servers and I don’t have this key:P

  • Any Benefit to having User Profile Service on more than one server

    I have an application that uses UPSA and UPSS, the User profile Service and Sync Service are started on the same server
    Is there any point in having the User Profile Service started on a second server for redundancy.
    I understand that a UP Sync Service can only be associalted with one User Profile Service Application
    Can I make my User profile Service Fault tolerant by starting the service  on more than one server?
    I am not looking to create  a second Use Profile Service Application to have seperate DB's and things
    Just to have User Profile still avaialble when the serevr hosting it has an issue
    thanks
    themush

    To get the round robin load balancing, just start the service in Services on Server on more than one server.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:
    (1) Error From source: SharePoint Server

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
    Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $IndexLocation = "C:\Search"  #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
    $SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
    $SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
    $SearchServiceName = "SSA"
    $SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
    $DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
    $DatabaseName = "SSA"
    $spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$spAppPool)
     $spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose
    $ServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $SearchServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$ServiceApplication)
    # process stays at the following step forever, already one hour now.  
    $ServiceApplication = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $SearchServiceName -ApplicationPool $spAppPool.Name -DatabaseServer  $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $DatabaseName
    Account mydomain\admin is an farm managed account, domain admin account, in WG_ADMIN role, It is in all SQL server roles and is DBO. I see search DBs are already on SQL server. From Event viewer, I got following errors in sequence:

  • Sharepoint Server 2013 Search Issue

    Hi,
    running Sharepoint server 2013. search service application is not working properly. getting the below error message. 
    "Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running"
    we have 2 tier sharepoint 2013 farm architecture. please find the below server details.
    1. WFE & APP server (OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and RAM: 8 GB) 
    2. database server (OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and RAM: 8 GB) 
    I tried the following:
    - installed the latest sharepoint server 2013 CU.
    - OS is up to date.
    - deleted and recreated Search Service Application
    - The service account does have access to the search databases
    - one account is used, domain\sp2013search, has all necessary permissions
    Please help to fix the search issue.

    Hi Raj0639,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you run SharePoint 2013 Search.
    Firstly, please make sure that all servers are online, and connecting to others.
    Please stop all search services on Manage services on server, then restart them. Please try to do as Amit said, compare the result.
    If this issue still exists, please repair SharePoint 2013 under Control Panel, then compare the result.
    Here is a similar post for you to take a look at:
