title: Event ID 3: Error "/ProfileService.svc does not exist." (AD Profile Import)
body: <p>I know this is a common Issue. It can be solved when restarting managed metadata service, UserProfile service and UserProfileSync service. (So SharePoint can recreate the endpoint listener in IIS)</p>

  <p>But in our case (SharePoint 2013, SP1) we only have UserProfile Service activated for AD Import. We dont need the Synchronisation Service be active. So i cant resolve this Problem the "normal" way.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My UP listeners are follow:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\Windows\system32&gt; $upa.Endpoints|%{Write-Host $_.ListenUris;}
  </code></pre>

  <p>The root cause of the Problem is as we know, the missing "ProfileService.svc" File in the WebService IIS Root folder. But this file is only created when UPS is active. So how do i resolve this Error in my environment? How do i remove these endpoints for a good? Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much for any reply!</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,</p>
