I have a "Complete" install on a single server using SQL Server that I set up for evaluation purposes.
Every five minutes, I get this error in the logs:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID 324cb0b8-409b-470c-8cfc-11c4949dbacb) threw an exception. More information is included below.
Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Unable to create a DataCache. SPDistributedCache is probably down..
I tried following the troubleshooting steps here:
http://blogs.dawnworld.org/2013/01/10/distrubited-cache-in-sharepoint-2013/
...but when I get to this step:
Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance
Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance
...I get a null reference exception error message on Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance, and I can't start the "Distributed Cache" service in Central Admin.
I can re-run the SharePoint 2013 Products Wizard to get the "Distributed Cache" service to "Started" status again, but I still get the errors.
Also, the site is slooowww right now, though the RAM and processor utilization never spike when viewed in Task Manager. Could the Distributed Cache problem be related to the slow performance?
