Hi guys, after a bit of trauma getting the UPS started its working now and I have created a connection between sharepoint (which lives in a totaly seprate forest to our users) and the forest with the users to be imported. 

When I start a full sync with users and groups I can see everything working in the miiclient with no errors, I can see, metaverse search shows my active directory users ok but whats not hapening is the users don't look like their being create in sharepoint, I still have a number of profile count of 5 the same as when I started, i've searched to double check, I should have 3 simon's and I only have my account which is manual add to sharepoint.

Looking at the miiclient tool I can see the following profiles being run:

DS_FULLIMPORT

DSFULLSYNC

DS_EXPORT

DS_DELTAIMPORT

looking at the first full sync I can see 136 projections, 78 disconnectors, 136 connectors with flow updates and under outbound syncronisation I can see 135 Provisioning adds

fullimport had 214 adds under staging and under discovery 99 filtered deletions and 300 filtered objects

dsexport nothing.

any new full syncs that I run now have about 175 connectors without flow updates, 67 export attribute flow, 175 provisioning adds and 175 provisioning disconnects which I assume is because the old stuff is droped and recreated.

Looking at the ULS Viewer and filtering for profile in category I can see the following entries with this one strange error between them, i've tried the rebuilding the filesystem cache but no joy there.

Configuration is sharepoint is all on a single box, databases on another box, sharepoint runs in a different forest to the forest with all our users but like I said all issues on this front have been overcome, I have a mysite for my user but non of the AD details have been populated by the person mapping after sync, please help me :(

Edit: Serve ris running the December CU that is the first and only update i've applied, the ups was setup before the update but the fim provisioning only worked after the update, hope this helps find me a solution.

Hi,

For the issue, please check the steps below for troubleshooting:

1.            Firstly, please confirm the account which is used for synchronization connection has replicating directory changes permissions on the domain.

2.            Confirm User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization Service are running.

3.            If the issue persists, please stop the SharePoint Services Timer from services console, then follow the link to delete the SharePoint cache: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939308   

4.            Restart the timer service on the SHAREPOINTMACHINENAME and then attempt to start the User Profile Synchronization Service again.

Hi, did you get this resolved? Is your DS_Export now has numbers in the Add, Updates? I would appreciate if you could let me know how you got the changes working to AD.

Thanks,

Daniel

Granting Replicate Directory Changes AD permission to the SP_Farm account (timer service account) fixed this issue for me.  Follow the instructions in this KB article:
