Workaround:
  1. Doing an IISRESET solving the problem but it is solving temporarily.
  2. Open IIS and go to your SharePoint site. And find the application pool.
  3. Go to application pool, click Advanced settings, change the value for "Load User Profile" to "true".
That's it!!! You are done.
Special thanks to Bassem Georgi for the nice tip.

  2. I got this exception when I used the Provision API of Microsoft FIM CM (Forefront Identity Manager Certificate Management).
    More specifically it was the FindOperations.FindSmartcards method that failed, when I used remoting.
    Your Solution worked for me too. Thanks a lot.
