SIF 2.0.0 on SC 9.0.2 - “The operation is on user root store and UI is not allowed”

After the release of SIF 2.0.0, an automated SC 9.0.x script began failing with the error:




The operation is on user root store and UI is not allowed.




This error occurs during the execution of xconnect-createcert.json, which is included in the SC On-Prem WDP package > Configuration Files zip.



After inspecting xconnect-createcert.json, I noticed that it specifies CurrentUser as the Store Location for the cert.



My script runs as the System user account as part of the DSC (Desired State Configuration) execution on a VM created via an Azure ARM template.



If I explicitly request SIF 1.2.1, the certificate is installed properly. Strangely, with 1.2.1, the cert is installed in the LocalMachine store. I suspect SIF 1.2.1 has some additional code to ensure this Store Location is used.

          As discussed on the #sif Sitecore Slack channel, when using vanilla SC WDP configs the SIF version does have a dependency on the installed SC version.




          • SIF 2.0.0 = SC 9.1

          • SIF 1.2.1 = SC 9.0.x


          There are two ways to solve the problem outlined above.



          1) Define SIF Version Explicitly



          If installing SIF for the first time via PowershellGallery:



          Install-Module -Name SitecoreInstallFramework -Repository SitecoreGallery -RequiredVersion 1.2.1


          If SIF 2.0.0 was previously installed, you will need to first uninstall then reinstall with the proper version:



          Uninstall-Module -Name SitecoreInstallFramework


          2) Modify Config Files Prior to Installation



          To use SIF 2.0.0 to install SC 9.0.x...



          Modify xconnect-createcert.json




          1. Find the CreateRootCert task

          2. Change the StoreLocation from CurrentUser to LocalMachine


          Modify xconnect-solr.json and sitecore-solr.json




          1. Find the CreateCores task in each file

          2. Change the "Name" attribute in Params > Action to lowercase "name"


          Original Example



          { "Action": "Create", "Address": "[parameter('SolrUrl')]", "Arguments": { "Name": "[variable('Core.Name')]" } },



          Updated



          { "Action": "Create", "Address": "[parameter('SolrUrl')]", "Arguments": { "name": "[variable('Core.Name')]" } },
