AD sync to populate Photos in MYSITE User profile

I have enabled AD sync to import thumbnail photos from AD to SharePoint 2013 user profile. Except for a few users, where the photos show up in their user profile, rest of the users have no photos showing up. If I check the LIST where synced photos are stored,
I see all photos there. Looks like AD sync based import works.
When I check the properties of the photo for users who have photos, it points to the list
http://mysite.company.net/User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/zUser_MThumb.jpg .
When I check the properties of the photo box of user profile with no photos, I see a different URL, pointing to
http://mysite.company.net/_layouts/15/images/PersonPlaceholder.200x150x32.png
I have engaged premier support for assistance and when we checked the User profile table, the URL for users with no photos is empty and URL for users with photos points to the LIST with photos.
Anyone experienced this before?
When I run the command: Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation
http://mysite.company.net
I get the following error:
Update-SPProfilePhotoStore : UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException_Logging :: UserProfileApplicationProxy.ApplicationProperties
ProfilePropertyCache does not have 9e1f9b07-bd20-4a61-a041-cbd8120d3737

Found the fix to the issue in a Blog. The issue was that I was unable to run the script Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation
http://mysite.company.net after 2 full syncs. Checking the internet, I found the following Blog that stated that the account used to run the script needs to have Full Control permission to the User Profile Service
Application. I checked and found that the Farm account has the required permission, and used the account to login to an App server in the Farm and then ran the script. The script ran without errors and all photos that had synced up from AD now show in
user profile.

The issue is fixed.

MySites User Profiles and User Hidden List

I would like to automatically activate all user profiles so I can assign an administrator to update all user information. The environment does have MySites setup but no one has permissions to create their own MySite site. Therefore,
when a user navigates to their profile page to edit their profile information they visit the URL http://server/MySiteSiteCollection/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Person.aspx?accountname=domain\user
Right now, the administrator can only edit user profiles where the user had previously visited their user profile page, thus activating their user profile, which I assume adds an item to the hidden user list. However, the administrator cannot edit
any user profiles where the user had not yet visited their user profile site, thus generating an error. I would like to enable/activate all user profiles automatically without having to contact each user separately and asking them to visit their
profile page just to get it enabled for editing.
Does anyone know if there is a way via PowerShell to activate all user profiles?
Environment: SharePoint 2013

That is probably the best, most consistent way. It would be isolated to that particular SA, so there shouldn't be security concerns. Otherwise you'll constantly run into this issue.
This should work with SharePoint 2013:
http://blog.bugrapostaci.com/2011/10/03/create-all-users-personal-site-via-powershell-script-sharepoint-2010/
But you'd need to continually run it to capture new users.
Another one specifically for 2013 if the above doesn't work:

User profile sync Sharepoint 2010 photos thumbnail with AD and Lync 2010 - error on Full Synchronization- get events 8311, 6110, 6803 FIMSynchronization Service

User profile sync Sharepoint 2010 photos thumbnail with AD and Lync 2010 - error on Full Synchronization- get events 8311, 6110, 6803 FIMSynchronization Service
We're trying to set up sync between Sharepoint and AD so photos are displayed in Lync.
The certificate referenced in 8311 is not the sharepoint root cert, its the UCC cert with our FQDN of the site. sharepoint.domain.com
Is this causing the problem with the sync and holding up the photos?
I have tried several proposed fixes, it hasn't helped.
tried this as well:

Unable to open mysite user photos in Windows explorer view

Hi,
We have around 30000 photos in user profile photo library.When we try to open the library in windows explorer view it doesnt open and throws the following error.
\\servrer\DavWWWRoot\m\User
Photos\Profile Picture is not accessible.You might not have permission to use this network resources.contact the administrator of this server to find uot if you have access permissions
I am checking this with farm admi
If we open some other library in the same machine with less items then i was able to open it.
Is there a limit for windows explorer view?
Thanks,
Sudan

Hi Sudan,
Did this happen to all users PC clients?
You can try creating a new following register key with value 30000000 on your client PC, then restart the WebClients service and check results again, please see the following similar article about opening library with large documents in explorer view.

Some of the users Profile photo is not showing in sharepoint team sites

Some of the users Profile photo is not showing in the list of SharePoint team site.
In the people picker their picture is grayed out but if you click on their name it will direct you to their mysite and the picture is there.
Can some body help on this.

Try running:
stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases 0
Then, run the timer job named similar to "User Profile Service Application - User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization". Wait for it to complete, then re-check the profile photo on the SharePoint site.

2-way syncing of calendars with iCal/Outlook users

Has anyone found an inexpensive hosted calendar solution that allows iCal and Outlook users to share calendars? more specifically a solution where the shared calendar can be edited by either party?

Success! I think I have gotten to the bottom of this now. With the latest version of Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin you can indeed populate both the sets and groups.
The link provided by Victoria to Jeffrey's blog allows you only to populate the "photostream" collection in the publish services of Lightroom.
However further down in the settings of the jf Flickr plugin there is a part entitled:
"Sync set/group membership for photos already part of this publish service".
It gives a warning about this being beta and undocumented, so to backup catalog before trying.
I did this and synced nearly 7000 photos in Flickr in a lot of sets that it automatically added and located the vast majority of them in my Lightroom library, which contains about 45,000 images. It all took maybe half an hour to run, so it was slow (even with a fast internet connection) but worked! I am a happy camper!
A bonus that I was not looking for but discovered is that this plugin will also sync with Flickr groups.
The version I used is http://regex.info/LightroomPlugins2/releases/flickr-20130324.298.zip
Thanks Victoria and Paige for all of your help

How to Upload Many User Profile Photos/Pictures

Hi everyone. We've been struggling on uploading user profile pictures to our Sharepoint online sites. I have been reading this post http://get-spscripts.com/2010/12/upload-multiple-user-profile.html but it kind of helps but not really. If we rename our picture
files to DOMAIN_LoginName.jpg which in our case would be corp_joe.smith.jpg I am curious how Sharepoint Online knows where to put the files? We don't use our domain to authenticate to SO (or do we?). Then it wants the URL of the mysite site. Is that a collection
site? How do I translate this to Sharepoint Online? This post is a few years old so I don't expect it to match up exactly but is this even possible with the newer Sharepoint Online?
thanks!

We do have them in AD but according to other posts and Microsoft articles, we need Outlook Online to sync pics. Apparently Outlook Online syncs from AD and SP syncs from Outlook Online. Since we do not have Outlook Online, we are out of luck.
If that isn't true, we're all ears on how to perform the sync. thanks!!

In the middle of my vacation and the sync of my photos stopped running, what happened?

In the middle of my vacation and the sync of my photos stopped running, what happened? I have looked for online answers and cannot find anything.

For transfers to occur, you must be using wifi and the photo app must be shut down. It may also take some time for photos to sync across, and many users claim thier photos don't sync via photo stream. My impression is that photo stream is still beta, given the problems with it.

Can I create User profile service sync connection for my site without Active directory?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to use my site without active directory? our AD policy don't allow farm account to have "Replicating directory changes", If I export AD information to SQL and sync profile from SQL is it possible?
Thanks
TanaponP

Yes, you can use mysites without setting up user profile sync. But you won't be able to sync information from SQL without having a primary sync setup with AD first. Syncing to something like SQL is designed to augment existing profiles. It
won't create new ones.

One user profile is not showing in CA but mysite is present for that account

Hi,
One user account is active in AD but not showing in Central Admin in User Profiles after profile import. However, the user has mysite profile also.
Any help

Hi,
Like Alex and Ganesh said, please check the log file to find whether there are some errors related to this issue. The path of the log file is :C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
In addition, please do a full sync for user profile, compare the result.

User Profile Services - Sync Connection disappearing after a few days - "Moss MA not found"

Hi,
This may sound like a common problem but i can't seem to find a solution.
I recently installed a SharePoint 2010 farm. The farm is currently SP1, Aug12 CU.
I created the user profile service application without any problems and created a connection, sync worked...everything was fine. Few days after, i noticed the connection disappeared! I tried recreating it but i got the above error. Tried deleting the SA
and recreating it but still the same.
I checked everything:
- FIM services are started
- User profile services (both) are started
- It is not an AD connection timeout (error comes up in a second and containers populate just fine)
- All permissions were given correctly (keep in mind this has worked before)
- Tried updating to the Aug12 CU
Then i remembered i installed the farm with the sql servers mapped with FQDN instead of NETBIOS or Alias.
That led me to try to enable netbios on the SA via PowerShell but to no avail.
So basically my question is...is there anything i can do or is re installing the farm the only solution?

Hi All,
Trevor, L:ooks like your suggestion works I juts tried creating a UPS with the FQDN and then changed to using the NetBIOS name. But the caveat is I am not using the NetBIOS name as the default database, I am using another DB Servet
Whatever we do at this point needs to be tested in DEV so we need DEV Server. I have never seen an environment successfully maintained using the FDQN If it were mr I would have already rebuilt it only takes 90 minutes or so to stand a an environment
up.
Would It would be better to Build another farm next to the first one and remove the content dbs from the old farm and move them to the new one and attaché them to new WebApps. I think it would take less time and be healthier in the long run
to move away from using the FQDN for SQL Completely, I don't believe its supported anyway..
This post from an MSDN Blog is titled NEVER, NEVER, AGAIN. Its just one example.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/momalek/archive/2010/10/29/never-again-never-use-a-fqdn-for-the-sharepoint-2010-sql-server-name.aspx
I should have said this when I wrote the rename response, its really to attempt the rename or start over... Though Trevor is correct, if you specify the NetBIOS name of the instance when creating the UPS it will work.. Shame I didn't think of it,Trevor
you rock..
Trevor, I would like to get your thoughts as well??? To build another Farm or to continue using the one you have with an FQDN?

Search User Profiles without MySites

We upgraded from 2007 to 2010 last year. In 2010 we did not set up a MySite web app or top level site collection. We did set up the User Profile Service and the profiles are syncing data from AD correctly. I have two issues that I would like help resolving.
First, I would like to set up a search where we can search for people and get their profile information. I want to use this like a company directory. I don't want to use the site collection user list, I want the profile information instead because the site
collection user list does not contain all of our users. If I don't have MySite, what do I set the crawl to? Where are the profiles stored?
Second, in a site collection, when we click on the name of the user under "created by" or "modified by", we get a page not found. I'm not sure if that is supposed to link to the profile (which I think is person.aspx) or the site
collection user (userdisp.aspx).
Are both of these issues caused by not having a MySite application set up? Is there anyway to have and use profiles without having them in the MySite app and site collection? I would like users to be able to modify their profile and we'd like
to search them. I'd also like those links under created/modified by to link to something. I've read about 50 articles and books and can't find a definitive answer on needing/not needing MySite. Any help is much appreciated.
Milissa Hartwell

I was able to resolve my crawl issue. I set up a separate content type (not sure if a separate one was needed, but that's how I did it). The crawl was set for sps3://[myservername]. Once the crawl was complete, I was able to search for people in my
search center.
My userdisp and person.aspx are still not coming up. When I click on a user in the site collection, I'm expecting to see their info in the userdisp.aspx page but I still get a page not found. And after I search for people, if I hover over
their name, the URL shows
http://[myserver]/my/person.aspx?accountname=[accountname] but I also get a page not found.
Does anyone know how to get userdisp and/or person.aspx to render? I looked in my 14 hive on the server and the userdisp.aspx page does exist so I'm not sure why it won't come up at least.
Also still wondering if users need a mySite to edit their Profile.

That sounds exactly like an issue that has plagued McAfee users for around a year.

Lightroom CC Syncing all Mobile Photos

It looks like LR is going to sink all 2000 of my mobile photos. Apparently the upgrade causes the need to sync all of the photos without the user changing them. It looks like it is going to take a couple of hours on my connection which has a 10Mbs upload speed.

Let me try to answer your questions.
1)
collections created within the Lr Mobile app will be automatically synced to the back-end. You can add photos manually from your camera roll or enable a collection for "Auto Add". With that all future camera shots will be automatically imported to Lr Mobile and synced
2)
correct. changes will be synced from Lr Mobile to Lr Desktop - back&forth
3) local camera roll deletion is not connected to the Cloud back-end. But be carefull that the import/sync is finished before you trigger that.
4)
as answerd before. the cloud back-end is not connected to the device camera roll
5)
video is not supported yet
7)
original resolution images will be downloaded to Lr Desktop. Preview images will be shown in the Lr Web view Adobe Lightroom
8)
when you create a collection within Lr Desktop and add your photos you would like to sync, then you can enable this collection for sync. As soon your are signed-in and start the sync (via the top left activity panel) you will notice a little checkbox beside the collection. When you check this sync start to run. Lr Deskop generates smart previews and uploads these to the back-end (plus thumbnail previews + meta-data). When you open up Lr Mobile app and you would like to make an edit, the Lr Mobile app loads the smart preview form the back-end and syncs back the meta-data or edit setting.
Hope that helps you to start.

UPA Service: User Profile Sync is not currently provisioned

Hello Team
As we have SharePoint 2013 On-Premises and got stuck on the UPA, It was working fine previously (Before migrating SQL Server). I have migrated SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014 by using Alias and everything seems to be working properly except UPA.
I am unable to start user profile synchronization services and getting message in event viewer below
"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileImportJob (ID d4e4db3c-37ee-4ae8-8a25-f3d974a8be95) threw an exception. More information is included below. Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."
My SharePoint server fully pathced to SP1 and June 14 CU without any error/warnings on that. I have checked and searched and applied solution but still i am unable to start the services for FIM and UPA.
All the Users, Directroy and registry permission are correct. I dont want to remove existing one because mysite working, unable to synch new data from AD as this is not started.
