Forefront Identity Error every minute

Question

We have recently done a domain migration and with the migration I changed the Farm Account. With these changes I now get a Forefront Error in my Log every minute.

Microsoft.ResourceManagement: System.InvalidOperationException: This Forefront Identity Manager system resource cannot be deleted.

at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Utilities.ExceptionManager.ThrowException(Exception exception)

at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices.ResourceManagementService.Delete(Message request)

What I have observed is that the User Profile and User Profile Sync Services are running and working. Users are being added, updated and removed.

Any ideas on why I am getting this error?

Answer 1

Hi,

From your error message, I have the following suggestion for you:

• Make sure the farm account is in the local admin group of the App and WFE servers in this farm.
• Verify that the service account has permissions to the following registry key:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service

If the issue persistent, I suggest you delete the old user profile service application and recreate a new one.

Thanks,

Hi Rock Wang 

Also got this error after MS updates has been applied to the  (test)server. 

Before applying the updates to the production environment - what is the impact regarding all the user if a new User profile service application is needed? - which effect has this on the existing user? does it affect their mysites, skills, keywords or other properties?
