Missing user profiles in mysites

I have a question about missing user profiles in our Mysites. We have an SP2013 environment with a number of site collections and sub-sites and occasionally, we are finding that some users are missing their profile. If we click on their user name, in a link
on a page or library, we are directed to a plain page with some very basic information, not our typical user profile page that looks more like SP2013 styling.
Even though the profiles are missing, I find that it is easier to add them from PowerShell, through a script, than to go into the central admin and add them manually, however this brings up a question:
Is there a quick and easy way to determine if a user has a profile?
Currently, I run a script that cycles through each user of each group of each web of each site collection, and checks to see whether that account has a profile. The problem here is that this is a very time-consuming process and many accounts get checked
more than twice if they exist in multiple groups. If the user does not have a profile, I create one.
Is there a faster way to determine if a user has a valid profile, rather than running a check on each user every time? With thousands of users, this script will take a long time to run and create a higher than desired load on our server.

In SharePoint 2003 and MOSS 2007 the user profile was created the first time a user accessed the site, but with 2010 that does
not seem to be the case. It either needs to be created through synchronization, programmatically using the API or PowerShell, or it can be created when the user clicks the profile or mysite the first time
If you want to auto-provision the MySites for a the missing users in your case you will need to do this with custom code as
you said you are writing a power shell script more ever it is one time activity so that is good way as well.  You would iterate through the list of users and call either the API, web services, or stsadm if this is a command line script, to create the
site collections.

  • Working on the User Profile and Mysite web

    I just trying to get few information from a user (like if the mysite web exits) and working with that. The main problem is understand if the user has a mysite web and delete it if exists but to do that the only possible way seems using CSOM. Also I should
    create a Powershell script for that. Did anyone never do that?

    Hi Salvo Di Fazio,
    PeopleManager.GetMyProperties method returns a type of UserProfiles.PersonProperties, that represents the user profile properties.
    PersonProperties contains a PersonalUrl property, that is the absolute URL of the user’s personal site.
    We can use this property to check the user’s personal site, check whether it exists.
    Following is an example about how to get user’s profile using CSOM:

  • Search User Profiles without MySites

    We upgraded from 2007 to 2010 last year. In 2010 we did not set up a MySite web app or top level site collection. We did set up the User Profile Service and the profiles are syncing data from AD correctly. I have two issues that I would like help resolving.
    First, I would like to set up a search where we can search for people and get their profile information. I want to use this like a company directory. I don't want to use the site collection user list, I want the profile information instead because the site
    collection user list does not contain all of our users. If I don't have MySite, what do I set the crawl to?  Where are the profiles stored?
    Second, in a site collection, when we click on the name of the user under "created by" or "modified by", we get a page not found.  I'm not sure if that is supposed to link to the profile (which I think is person.aspx) or the site
    collection user (userdisp.aspx). 
    Are both of these issues caused by not having a MySite application set up?  Is there anyway to have and use profiles without having them in the MySite app and site collection?  I would like users to be able to modify their profile and we'd like
    to search them.  I'd also like those links under created/modified by to link to something.  I've read about 50 articles and books and can't find a definitive answer on needing/not needing MySite. Any help is much appreciated.
    Milissa Hartwell

    I was able to resolve my crawl issue. I set up a separate content type (not sure if a separate one was needed, but that's how I did it). The crawl was set for sps3://[myservername].  Once the crawl was complete, I was able to search for people in my
    search center.
    My userdisp and person.aspx are still not coming up.  When I click on a user in the site collection, I'm expecting to see their info in the userdisp.aspx page but I still get a page not found.  And after I search for people, if I hover over
    their name, the URL shows
    http://[myserver]/my/person.aspx?accountname=[accountname] but I also get a page not found.
    Does anyone know how to get userdisp and/or person.aspx to render?  I looked in my 14 hive on the server and the userdisp.aspx page does exist so I'm not sure why it won't come up at least.
    Also still wondering if users need a mySite to edit their Profile.

  • User Profiles option missing from SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows

    I noticed the User Profiles is missing as a Data Source option in the SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow platform (see image); whereas, it exists in the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform. Is there a way to connect this feature in SharePoint 2013 workflows
    by registering it or configuring through Workflow Manager? If not, what is the new approach in SP 2013 to call User Profiles services?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, you want to use user profile in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
    In SharePoint 2013 workflow user profiles is missing, if you have to use the user profile, you can create a SharePoint 2010 workflow, and use Start a List workflow action in 2013 workflow to start the 2010 workflow.
    The article below is about How to start a SharePoint 2010 Workflow within a SharePoint 2013 Workflow Using SharePoint Designer 2013
    http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/how-to-start-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-within-a-sharepoint/
    And in SharePoint 2013 there is an approach to user profile, you can add the action call http web service to get the information of user profile.  
    The article below is about how to use call http web service in SharePoint 2013 workflow.

  • MySites User Profiles and User Hidden List

    I would like to automatically activate all user profiles so I can assign an administrator to update all user information. The environment does have MySites setup but no one has permissions to create their own MySite site. Therefore,
    when a user navigates to their profile page to edit their profile information they visit the URL http://server/MySiteSiteCollection/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Person.aspx?accountname=domain\user
    Right now, the administrator can only edit user profiles where the user had previously visited their user profile page, thus activating their user profile, which I assume adds an item to the hidden user list. However, the administrator cannot edit
    any user profiles where the user had not yet visited their user profile site, thus generating an error. I would like to enable/activate all user profiles automatically without having to contact each user separately and asking them to visit their
    profile page just to get it enabled for editing.
    Does anyone know if there is a way via PowerShell to activate all user profiles?
    Environment: SharePoint 2013

    That is probably the best, most consistent way. It would be isolated to that particular SA, so there shouldn't be security concerns. Otherwise you'll constantly run into this issue.
    This should work with SharePoint 2013:
    http://blog.bugrapostaci.com/2011/10/03/create-all-users-personal-site-via-powershell-script-sharepoint-2010/
    But you'd need to continually run it to capture new users.
    Another one specifically for 2013 if the above doesn't work:

  • User missing from all site collections but present in User Profile (Central Admin)

    I have a user who does not show up in "People and Groups" (or if I search for this user) in any of the site collections but does show up when I look up his user profile on Central Admin. I've tried to add this user to the site collection using
    the following command, but I get an error: " The specified user domain\accountname could not be found."
    Get-SPWeb 'http://site' | New-SPUser -UserAlias 'domain\accountname'
    Idk if this is related, but on this user's profile, "Personal Site" field shows up as "SPSSITEERROR".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I recommend to check if the user exists in Active Directory firstly.
    If yes, then the error will occur. And for the user profile of the user, it may due to the user profiles have not been synced with Active Directory yet.
    That "Personal Site" field shows up as "SPSSITEERROR" means that the MySite of that user has not been created successfully.
    I recommend to run User Profile Synchronization timer job and then check the results.
    Thanks,

  • After a UPSA connection edit, all my user profiles are "missing from import"

    Hi there,
    I've got a problem with my User Profile Service Application. I edited my existing connection to add some new OU containers to the list, after the networks team had done some
    restructuring to reflect an organizational change. Then I ran a Full Synchronization. But now all of my user profiles show up under the "Missing from Import" list. I still have 943 profiles in SharePoint, and not surprisingly, people search isn't
    working. I suspect that I did something wrong in the process of selecting the Users OU containers in the AD tree (in Populate Containers), but I cannot see what, since I replicated the selections that had been made for an unchanged department, to
    the ones that had been reorganized.
    Any help appreciated.

    SharePoint Systems Officer, Capital Regional District, BC, Canada

    Hi  Tom ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that all the user profiles are showing up under "Profiles missing from import" list after you edited the existing User Profile Synchronization
    Connection.
    For your issue, it can be caused by that your User Profile Synchronization Connection is unable to connect to  your AD. Please make sure  the account used to connect to Active Directory to import
    profiles has access to the Organizational Unit you are importing from. By default this account is the Default Content Access account. And the Default Content Access account  must be a domain user account and it must have read access to external or secure
    content sources that you want to crawl by using this account.
    Then you need to check if the “Profile Synchronization” job status is “succeed”.
    Also please check the “Sync filter” for the service, and make sure the account are not include in the Exclusion Filter for Users.
    For a workaround, you can just delete the existing connection , recreate it and perform a full synchronization.
    Thanks,

  • AD sync to populate Photos in MYSITE User profile

    I have enabled AD sync to import thumbnail photos from AD to SharePoint 2013 user profile. Except for a few users, where the photos show up in their user profile, rest of the users have no photos showing up. If I check the LIST where synced photos are stored,
    I see all photos there. Looks like AD sync based import works.
    When I check the properties of the photo for users who have photos, it points to the list
    http://mysite.company.net/User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/zUser_MThumb.jpg .
    When I check the properties of the photo box of user profile with no photos, I see a different URL, pointing to
    http://mysite.company.net/_layouts/15/images/PersonPlaceholder.200x150x32.png
    I have engaged premier support for assistance and when we checked the User profile table, the URL for users with no photos is empty and URL for users with photos points to the LIST with photos.
    Anyone experienced this before?
    When I run the command: Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation
    http://mysite.company.net
    I get the following error:

    Found the fix to the issue in a Blog. The issue was that I was unable to run the script Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation
    http://mysite.company.net  after 2 full syncs. Checking the internet, I found the following Blog that stated that the account used to run the script needs to have Full Control permission to the User Profile Service
    Application. I checked and found that the Farm account has the required permission, and used the account to login to an App server in the Farm and then ran the script. The script ran without errors and all photos that had synced up from AD  now show in
    user profile.

  • Essbase client missing after creation of new windows user profile

    I created a new windows user profile after an apparent corruption of my old one. However, when I open Excel, the Essbase client (add-in) is gone. Smartview is still there. The client doesn't show up after registering Essbase Add-In is executed. I can add the client by navigating to C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin and selecting essxleqd.xla and essxcln.xll. The add-in then appears to be installed. However, when I try to connect to Essbase, the connection dialog box does not show up. I'm on version 11.1.1.3 and Excel 2007.
    Is there a way to resolve this short of re-installing the client? Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    dave

    I remember the Essbase add-in used to be a small executable of a few MB that was easy to install. It's my understanding that they went to the global installer where they include various product assemblies. The files needed to run the global installer for a simple add-in amount to close to about 4GB in size. Our VPN for remote users is very slow and takes forever to install. I see ther is still a small executable for the Smartview install. Is there a small executable for the Essbase add-in somewhere that I'm not aware of? I can reinstall if that's what it takes. I was hoping there might something a bit less time consuming.
    Thanks John.

  • Files missing from desktop after deleting a user profile that was created on there.

    I downloaded and installed firefox and it asked me to create a user profile, but it could not save in the default location. I chose to create the profile on the desktop as a test and that worked. However, after deleting that user profile, all of the items on my desktop were removed and cannot be located. The files are not in my trashbin and when I do a search, it says the file cannot be located. I have Windows 7.

    You shouldn't create a profile and choose an existing folder.<br />
    You should always specify an empty folder and if you didn't do that then you should never remove the files when you remove such a profile because all files in it will be removed and not just the files created by Firefox.

  • User Profile Application and Managed Metadata services are missing

    Running SharePoint 2013 servers on a set of 2012 R2 Servers.  One of our farm administrators deleted the Secure Store service account.  They recreated the Secure Store account, but after doing so, the Managed Metadata Service and User Profile Service
    are now unavailable.
    When going to the User Profile Page, there is an error that says "Sorry, something went wrong."
    When going to the Metadata page, there is an error that says "The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available."
    There is an additional error that says "The Security Token Service is not available."

  • Old Domain Name showing in User Profiles

    Sharepoint User Profile Sync is showing some users with our Old Domain name (from years ago).  This domain name is NOT  in our Active Directory.  I'm guessing that the profiles that show the old domain name must have been in our Sharepoint
    2007 and got ported over when we upgraded to Sharepoint 2010.
    This is causing conflicts and some workflows not to work (ones where its looking up a user's profile).  And when I look in Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager, there are some users listed with this error: Exception while trying to migrate user "abc\johndoe"
    to "xyz\johndoe"..  Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The user does not exist or is not unique.......
    ("abc" being the old domain name...and "xyz" being our current domain name)
    I'm wondering what is the best way to get rid of the old domain name in our Sharepoint 2010 user profiles?  Should I update them in the User Profile database in SQL?
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Also, in Central Admin under Health monitoring, we have this message
    "People search relevance is not optimized when the Active Directory has errors in the manager reporting structure. In Active Directory, only company leaders should have the 'manager' property set to NULL. As a result of errors, the Active Directory can
    incorrectly have the 'manager' property set to NULL for other users that can cause a decrease in people search relevance. By specifying the actual leaders of
    the company, these inconsistencies are not taken into account and the relevance problem is corrected. 
    Remedy
    Specify the company leaders explicitly. Use the following PowerShell
    commands: $upap = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy [appid]; Add-SPProfileLeader
    $upap [Domain]\[UserName]. Run 'Get-SPProfileLeader $upap' to check whether the
    leader was successfully added. As a last step, run a full crawl on the content
    source containing the start address (URL) of the user profile application.
    Not sure if this is related.
    Any help would be much appreciated... thanks!

    If Mysite Clean Up job is running then this issue should be fixed(removed all old profiles)  in couple of User Profile Sync( Full followed by couple of Incremental). Basically, FIMs
    responsible to mark the user as deleted within the UPA then CleanUp Job purge these profile.

  • Temp-Contract Worker User Profile Synchronization in SharePoint 2013

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on what is the best practice for configuring Temp or Contract worker user profile services in SharePoint 2013. We have had lot of issues within MySites when we make these types of workers AD account inactive
    and then active again when they come back on projects. The user profile synchronization does not work correctly and MySites has issues loading the profile etc. Also in the same context are there best practices for Name/Title/Department changes as well. 
    thank you for your feedback!
    AJ

    Given what you describe I assume you've created a user profile Sync connection filter to remove disabled AD accounts from the user profile sync.  That's why you are running into problems.  When a user is missing from the import their profile is
    deleted within an hour or so, but their MySite isn't deleted for 14 days (to allow time for a manager to clean it off).  If the user is reactivated within the 14 day period their old mySite is still there, but is no longer referenced by the new profile
    that is created.  So When the user goes to their profile it tries to create a new mySite where one already exists.  It can't do that.
    The same thing will happen if you delete the contractor's user account, but then recreate them in AD when they return.  The only way to fix it is to make sure both the profile and mySite site collection in /Personal/ have been deleted before re-adding
    an old contractor.

  • Manage Profile Services - Unable to edit User Properties or User Profiles

    SharePoint 2013 - fresh site, with Mysites, and the User Profile Service running.  The UPS is ran under a separate account, and the farm account has securityAdmin rights and directory replication rights.
    When I enter Manage User Properties, I get a complete list of properties but no way to edit them, the same happens when I go into User Profile Properties, there is no where to edit the users.  Has anyone seen this before and if so what step have I missed
    in setting the UPS and MySites Up.
    Both Administrator and Farm Admin have Administrator rights to the UPS Application, and it's the Profile User Service that's running at the minute not the Profile User Synchronization Service.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks for the reply Adnan, however I think you missed the point. There is no capability to edit the properties, there's no dropdown to select edit form, in any of those areas against any of the properties.  I can see them but not edit them. 
    It must be a permissions problem but I've no idea where it may lie.
    Here's how the UPS and Mysites were built:
    Created a separate user for the UPS account (UserUPS), and registered it as a Managed Service account.
    Added Replicating Directory Changes to the Farm account.
    Started the User Profile Service.
    Created the UPS application using the UserUPS account for the application pool.
    Configured the Directory Import - used SharePoint Active Directory Import.
    Created a new Synchronization connection using the Farm account - it worked.
    Ran the synchronization - it worked, everything was import.
    Went into Manage Profile Service, Under People click on Manage User Profiles, entered a users name, clicked on it when it appeared - nothing, no edit capabilities at all.
    So at a loss as to where I've gone wrong?
    Ran Add-SPAdmin - it added the Farm account to the configuration db, and when I tried it against the Profile database it complained, basically saying not possible,
    I'm out of ideas at the minute and need to get this working so we can use SharePoint to hold a Skills map.
    Thanks
    David
