8.3 Error loading avatar from AD

[mattgrimley]

Looks like the background call to load the picture is failing because of an AD COM issue. Try going to https://hap.school.org.uk/beta/api/livetiles/me and seeing what it's saying

 

Hi @nickbro

I've moved this to it's own thread as i don't think it has anything to do with the other thread after all and I'd hate to hi-jack someone else's stuff!

 

I've corrected the masterpage.master and setup.aspx with yesterday's bug fixes and the top menu loads properly now.. However i still get 2 errors on loading the page "An operations error occurred"

 

If i load the https://hap.school.org.uk/beta/api/livetiles/me page, i get:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://hap.school.org.uk/beta/api/livetiles/me
Line Number 1, Column 1:{"Message":"An operations error occurred.\u000d\u000a","Detail":null,"FaultType":"DirectoryServicesCOMException"}
^

I do have an image stored in AD for my account which is used by Exchange 2010 - but i tried clearing this and still get the error. I also tried as a user who doesnt have mail and never had an AD image stored - and that gets the same errors..

 

Any more thoughts?

Cheers,

Matt

Hi again,

 

I've tried the updates that you posted yesterday, but there didn't seem to be much extra other than a script file.

 

So; on log-on, i get "An operations error occurred" twice. The server event log reports:

I have no idea if this is the same as the problem report in the other thread.. i presumed not yesterday.. but hopefully this info helps track it down!!

 

Cheers,

Matt

Ah, I've forgotten to impersonate the admin user haven't I. Will code that up tonight and re-release
