I am creating personal sites using powershell csom.

My issue is on below line

$loader = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.ProfileLoader]::GetProfileLoader($ctx)

I get following error.

$loader = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.ProfileLoader]::GetProfileLoader($ctx)

Cannot convert argument "context", with value:

"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext", for "GetProfileLoader" to type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRuntimeContext": "Cannot convert the "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext" value of type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext" to type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRuntimeContext"."

  • Did you load "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles"? Also, You must use Windows PowerShell 3.0. If you use SharePoint 2013 Management Shell, the script will fail.

  • yes userprofile.dll is loaded. I am following this source code gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/… . I am able to get clientcontext so i think powershell version is OK for 2013 online

  • Can you try using LoadWithPartialName syntax for loading dll instead of Add-Type?

I was running into the same issues and it turned out I was referencing the wrong DLLs. I was also having issues with CreatePersonalSiteEnqueueBulk not being recognized.

I was referencing the 15 version not the 16 version and also the 16 version I had was out of date. Be sure you are referencing the proper DLL and have the most up to date version. I'm now running 16.0.3104.1200 and these issues went away.
