Verify each User Profile service application has a My Site Host configured

Verify each User Profile service application has a My Site Host configured

Without a My Site host, end-users are not able to use personal sites or people profiles. Therefore, we recommend that if you create a User Profile Service service application, you also create a My Site host for the User Profile Service.

Symptoms:   My Sites and other people profile features are not available to users.

Cause:   The administrator who created the User Profile Service service application did not also create a My Site host.

Solution:   Verify that a My Site site collection has been created

Solution:   Associate the My Site host with a User Profile Service service application by using Windows PowerShell

1. Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: See Add-SPShellAdmin.
2. On the Start menu, click All Programs.
3. Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
4. Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
5. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:
   Set-SPProfileServiceApplication [-Name <UserProfileServiceApplicationName>] -MySiteHostLocation <URL>
   Where:
• <UserProfileServiceApplicationName> is the friendly name of the User Profile Service service application. If you only have one User Profile Service service application, you do not need to specify the name.
• <URL> is URL of an empty site collection that has no templates associated with it.
