Suggested solution to the issue:

Fix issue with nonmandatory mysitehostlocation?

The DSC configuration that is used to reproduce the issue (as detailed as possible)

  )

  $secpasswd   = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
  $credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $secpasswd)
  return $credentials
}

Hi @ahebx, thanks for the fix/PR. I have just merged the PR. It will be included in the next version!

I have the same issue.

It seems the problem is when creating the User Profile Service Application without a MySiteHost.

Then Get-TargetResource in SharePointDsc/DSCResources/MSFT_SPUserProfileServiceApp/MSFT_SPUserProfileServiceApp.psm1 throws this error.

Line 208 $upMySiteLocation gets an empty [system.uri], and then on line 226 we try to run the TrimEnd method on a null value: $upMySiteLocation.AbsoluteUri.TrimEnd(“/”)

I’m new to contributing but i can try to fix this. 😃
