Diagnosing Common Issues FIM 99% of the time, permissions are the issue – Farm Account must be local admin during the sync – Farm Account must have “Allow Log on Locally” – Sync Account needs “Replicating Directory Changes” permission in AD IISRESET, Logon / Logoff, and Restart SharePoint Timer Service before starting the UPSA IISRESET after starting the UPSA

FIM Status – Stopped- connectivity Connection Status – Failed search Replicating Directory Changes Permissions Sync Issues – Domain Permissions

Tips Add a link to the User Profile Service and Search Service on the resources list on the homepage and on possibly the Top Link bar Install SP1 and the August 2011 CU at least – April CU refresh offers even better UPS goodies

Gotchas Oct 2011 CU breaks profile photos. Sync Database size – Fixed in April CU (be careful of the version of April CU since it was rescinded by Microsoft – new v.5006) – Also can be handled by deleting the Sync DB and reprovisioning UPA. Remember the Sync DB is only a staging environment Keep the social and profile DBs! Politics – Who owns the identities, does the data come from multiple teams, how will the connections work, if you do write-back, who becomes the authoritative source?
