profile.CreatePersonalSite() - > User cannot be found error

Hi ,

I am trying to execute pre-provisioning of personal sites using a powershell script .

I was getting "Access Denied Errors " when I was executing the script under a farm admin log in .

I am now executing the script under "Farm Account" but I am getting " User cannot be Found" error on $profile.CreatePersonalSite() command

I have checked the permissions and the farm account has full permissions in the User Profile Sevice Application.

I am not sure why the error is popping up.

Any pointers or solution will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shilpa
