Hi,

In one of the environments (RTM) we support the AD has over 7000 users and wait 
the 10 minutes after starting the 2nd service (UPSS as per the 
link<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049.aspx>) we have seen 
the service stuck on starting at which point we reboot the server and wait for 
it to initialize again and it is successful (be patient).

You can monitor the progress inside the service application as it crawls the 
AD, when it is complete we remove the farm account from the local admin group 
making sure the account retains the "Log on Locally" right.  Another thing to 
check is the permissions against AD, the link above is very good (updated Nov 
18th, 2010) we have used it many times to configure UPSA.

Here is a blog post regarding UPSS and a security exception in a 2003 AD 
environment, it is a long shot but we had a similar problem related to our FAST 
Search Server.

Also one thing to note is to leave the FIM services alone. Don't try stopping 
or starting them manually

Subject: RE: User Profile Sync

Hi Chris,
I had so much trouble getting this working, but now have reliable sync with AD. 
After hitting countless errors and reading all the previously mentioned blog 
posts I started again and reinstalled SharePoint (luckily I used mostly 
PowerShell).

The trick I used to properly get the services to start were this:
-          Add the SharePoint Farm user to local admin group
-          Reboot the server and login as SharePoint Farm account (I believe it 
needs a local profile for this user).
-          Start the services:
o    User Profile Service
o    User Profile Synchronization Service (this service can take a while so be 
patient and don't try and kill it).
Remove the SharePoint Farm from local admin group.

If you get an error in the event log "ILM Certificate could not be created: 
Cert step 2 could not be created: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 
Servers\14.0\Tools\MakeCert.exe -pe -sr LocalMachine -ss My -a sha1 -n 
CN="ForefrontIdentityManager" -sky exchange -pe -in "ForefrontIdentityManager" 
-ir localmachine -is root" then you need to delete the certificates labelled 
"ForefrontIdentityManager" from the Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> 
Certificates section. See this blog for details: 
http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2010/08/15/more-user-profile-sync-in-sp2010-certificate-provisioning-issues/.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Subject: User Profile Sync

Ok,

This is an email to find out if anyone has actually managed to fully deploy 
User Profile Sync into a "real" SP2010 farm?

I've tried numerous of times, with each newer CU, each fails at a different 
point.  I went through the great blogpost that Jeremy Thake linked to me 
(thanks mate) but didn't help unfortunately.

I've got 4 WFE's
Clustered DB servers
Dedicated search
Dedicated "Application Server", which hosts most of the service apps.

AD Server 2008 R2 with 2003 functional level with about 12,000 AD user objects.

It shouldn't be this hard.

Cheers,
Chris
