SharePoint 2010 on Windows 7 Exception – UserProfileException: Unrecognized attribute ‘allowInsecureTransport’
If you tried installing SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 on Windows 7 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) shortly after its release; you may have ran into the following error:
Failed to create sample data.
An exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException was thrown. Additional exception information: Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\Profile\client.config line 56)
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException: Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'.
This error is caused by a known issue with Token Authentication and WCF. A fix has been released and is now available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166231.
If you didn’t uninstall after receiving the error, simply install the hotfix, and re-run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard.
SharePoint TechDives November 2009 Update
We'd like to give a big thanks to all of you that helped put together and participated in the SharePoint Tech Dive last Wednesday. We opened registration for 30 attendees and reached full capacity within a few days of the announcement. Of course not all who registered where able to attend; for those of you who missed the opportunity, we will be posting the lab manual along with a video of how to build a similar Feature for SharePoint 2010 within the next several days... so stay tuned.
The event itself was a big success. During the session we discussed several aspects of SharePoint Features, including preferred development tools and approaches, different types of Features, adding "SharePoint Feature Intellisense" to Visual Studio, and managed to squeeze in a SharePoint 2010 Feature development demo. The group dynamic was very open with just about everyone participating.
Topic Suggestions
Registration for the December event will be opening soon, but we have yet to choose a topic. It has always been our intention to have the attendees participate in choosing the topic of the next event via nominations and a vote at the end of every session. But time flies while you are having fun and our meeting went over by 10 to 15 minutes, not allowing for enough time to choose the next topic as a group. As a result, you are all being given the opportunity to partake in the selection of the topic of the next SharePoint Tech Dive; simply submit your suggestion via e-mail to info@sptechdives.com.
Have a great evening and thank you for your support!

The Evolution of the SharePoint Professional
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how SharePoint 2010 is reshaping the future and the impact it will have on those of us who’ve been implementing and developing for SharePoint over the last several years. I look forward to dedicating a bit more time to this subject in a future post. The following is just a brief abstract of my thoughts regarding one of the areas that I feel will be affected the most, our roles.
MS has been making a lot of distinct references between what they call IT Pros (I’m not sure I agree with this term) and Developers in most of their SharePoint 2010 sites, presentations, and documentation. We’ve experienced the logical evolution of these 2 roles for several years, but for many of us, the line has remained somewhat gray. I suspect this to drastically change in the near future, and most who haven’t chosen to specialize in a specific track really need to start thinking about choosing a side, or risk getting overshadowed by experts coming from either direction. Of course regardless of what track you choose, you should dedicate time to learn at least the fundamentals of the other.
I suspect SharePoint will continue evolving to become the de facto web operating platform for companies and corporations world wide. If you think of the role Windows plays for each of the users in your company, and then think of your users as a collective; it shouldn't be too difficult to visualize SharePoint as your companies OS on the web. Now consider the teams and roles that take part in managing, developing, and supporting Windows, along with all of the applications it runs in your company or corporation. How many all around experts are there. The division is not just technical in nature, there are several business aspects to it as well…ever heard the term "Segregation of Duties". Suddenly "IT Pros" and "Developers" may not even seem like enough roles.
