I've had an interesting 2 days with a production environment which saw me rebuild a farm in 2007 and upgrade it to 2010. Nearly have everything working bar the fabled UPSA. I seemingly have some kind of proxy server issue in effect. I basically could not execute a crawl on the site unless I specified the proxy server in the sharepoint search configuration. Once I did that the User Profile Service services sprung to life and I thought it was all going to go through but I encountered this issue whereby when I create the connection I get the MOSS MA not found error. I've spent about 3 hours and regularly encounter problems with it but this one might have me beat. I have attached the ULS logs with the error below. unlike others out there with this problem I have the FIM services started, and have done all the habar pre-requsite checks the connection fails almost instantly so its seemingly a connection issue. In my MIISCLIENT I only have the 2 out of the 3 Managed Connections, probably due to the fact it couldn't provision the AD connection. The ULS error log shows a 404 error? Most of the other problems out there show more of a connection denied issue. No firewalls in play here either. I've requested the port be explicitly open on the proxy server since I have no control of it. Failing that I'll be probably calling microsoft.
