SYMPTOMS
When you validate a profile that contains a property that is mapped to a field of datatype uniqueidentifier, the following errors may occur:

Could not load profile 'xyz'. Error 1: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server : Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier. Error 2: Microsoft Commerce OLE DB Provider : One or more errors occurred during processing of command. Do you want to continue validating the profiles? Yes No

The error above is followed by:

Invalid Profile One or more profiles may be invalid.



CAUSE
The validate profile utility in the Commerce Server Manager attempts to write a hard-coded string or number to the specified field. In this case, it does not write a valid GUID, and an error is generated. A similar error occurs if you attempt to validate a profile that is mapped to a read-only property in AD.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
