I am trying to install a SharePoint 2010 standalone system on a new Dynamic Cloud Server, Quad-Core 2.3 GHz AMD Opteron 2352 with 8GB RAM, 100GB HDD, Windows Standard Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2, fully Windows Update-d. Everything went well until Task 8 of 10 in the Configuration Wizard, where I received this error:
Failed to create sample data. An exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException was thrown. Additional exception information: The request channel timed out attempting to send after 00:00:20. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.
At this point, my application event log and the configuration log file was: http://afs.af/PSCDiagnostics_12_29_2009_0_29_5_174_158480866.txt
I then proceeded to read over 50 articles on SharePoint installations, and downloaded 15 separate patches and hotfixes, without success. Then I finally found this article and followed its directions: http://www.the14folder.com/tag/microsoft-office-server-userprofiles-userprofileexception/
When I ran the Configuration Wizard again, it took longer and I received a new error:
An exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException was thrown. Additional exception information: Could not connect to https://<servername>:32844/..../ProfilePropertyService.svc. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 2001:0:4137:....
Now my application event log and the configuration log file was: http://afs.af/PSCDiagnostics_12_29_2009_0_54_51_910_1349740447.txt
I'm at my wits end. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
