an error occurred while rendering navigation for requested url sharepoint 2010 userprofileapplicationproxy

Issue:An error occured while rendering navigation for requested URL: <removed>. Exception message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Stack trace:    at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_ApplicationProperties()
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy.get_PartitionIDs()

resolution:
  • Go to "Central Administration"
  • Go to "Application Management" > "Configure service application associations"
  • Click "Default", and then uncheck the UPS from there
this is an better option as opposed to deleting the UPS altogether..just do an iisreset after the disassociation in case it is not working...
if you have the liberty to delete the UPS and recreate it again you can do that as well.

in my case this happened when the servers were migrated to another domain..the UPS was created under olddomain\login hence the issue.
