When trying to setup the database I get the following in the Event Log:

Application synchronization failed for Microsoft.Office.Server.SocialNetwork.Administration.KNSharedService.

Reason: Failed to load user profile properties. A SQL error occurred.

Do you have a P2P support forum? I found a bug where Client startup fails with a user who has had logon name / legacyexchangedn changed in the past, and KN client cannot find the user in the address book.

When publishing my profile to the server I get these errors:

The description for Event ID ( 26215 ) in Source ( Office SharePoint Server ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.

Any suggestions ?

I've been using/testing this build for a month and everything has worked great.  But now that I've added a few others in the enterprise to the testing mix, we now get the following error when any of us try and access any one elses (that is a member of KN) profile page (note: no problems with people that are not members of KN accessing a member's profile page):

ERROR

The "PortraitInCommon" Web Part appears to be causing a problem.  The requested Performance Counter is not a customer counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly.

Followed by the link to the web parts maintainence page (not if you close/remove that web part, then all is fine).

Any suggestions?
