New Post: How to provision User Profile without MySite ?

Hi,

I'm setting a SP2013 farm and I'm experiencing an error when the script is trying to create the user profile service application. It seems that it's excepting a value for MySiteHostLocation even though I do not want to use MySite. I only want the script to setup the User Profiles Service Application. I therefore did not specify a webapp of type "MySiteHost" and therefore the tag < MySiteHostLocation> is empty. I guess this is where it fails.

I get the following error message:

New-SPProfileServiceApplication : Missing an argument for parameter ‘MySiteHostLocation’. Specify a parameter of type ‘Microsoft.Sharepoint.PowerShell.SPSitePipeBind’ and try again.

So question is : Is it possible to provision user profiles without MySite ?

Thanks in advance guys
