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

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.

  • 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?

  • SharePoint 2013 profile service account requirements when using "Use SharePoint Active Directory Import" option

    Hi All,
    I am trying to configure SharePoint Profile service. We would like a straightforward profile import from Active Directory.
    On the "Configure Synchronization Settings" page, we have chosen the option "Use SharePoint Active Directory Import" option.
    We have created a connection to the Active Directory using Configure Synchronization Connections page. We have specified the account that would be used for the import process.
    Question:
    I would like to confirm whether the account configured for the profile import need any special privileges when using "Use SharePoint Active Directory Import" option ?
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

  • How to set which User Profile attribute is used for email messages?

    I am having a problem setting up User Profiles in SharePoint 2013. I have users that are both (1) Active Directory users authenticated using Windows Authentication, and (2) Active Directory users, existing in another distinct OU, authenticated via ADFS (active
    directory federation services).
    My problem is with the ADFS users. I want to have the users unique id be their logon email account ([email protected]), but want to populate their work email attribute with their "actual" or real email account.
    If I have an OU (External Users) and within that OU (XYZ Company Users), AND my domain is contoso.com, then I want to add a user such that they have a unique id in active directory ([email protected], but want their email address to be whatever
    it is (I.e. [email protected]).
    MY PROBLEM: I can setup the User Profile Synchronization service to map the properties perfectly, but when I I try to add/share a user in a SharePoint site, the user's account email ([email protected] is sent the message, not their "Work Email"
    ([email protected]).
    QUESTION: How do I get SharePoint to use the "Work Email" attribute (NOT the account email) of a User Profile when sending email messages?

    Okay, within Active Directory, the user's email IS set to
    [email protected] The "unique value" (Using the account logon name) works just fine. The problem is SharePoint. When I logon with another account and choose to share a site with this particular test user, the Email for sharing the site is sent to
    [email protected] (the account logon name), not
    [email protected] (the user's email address)
    How do I get SharePoint to actually use the email address of an AD user, and not use the account logon name when sending notifications?

  • W7: User Profile Service service failed at log on: Apparently W7 is no longer creating any user profile data other than username and picture.

    First time poster, but I think I've done my homework on this issue.
    This issue has similar symptoms to a problem with vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html
    However, it is definitely not the same issue (see further).
    Current Config:
    HP dv7-1450.
    W7 RC 7100 x64
    Last update (up to date as of 8/31/09) installed succesfully 8/26/09 and should be unrelated to this issue (not verified yet by a pre-update restore).
    Running with Admin account while diagnosing/troubleshooting.
    Currently have two working accounts, one standard, one admin.
    Symptom:
    New user accounts cannot be logged into.  On an attempted login to the new account, the following information is displayed on the login screen:  "The User Profile Service service failed the logon.  User profile cannot be loaded."  Windows then logs off the operator and returns to the initial user selection screen.  All other aspects of use are normal.
    Current Diagnostics:
    First attempts to resolve this problem were to recreate the new account.  This was attempted when logged in as both Standard and Admin.  This was also attempted under safe mode.  This has been attempted with virus protection disabled.  All to no difference in the symptom.
    The similarity to the Vista issue (linked above) caused me to check the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ for the new profile (as suggested by that link).  Unlike that issue, there simply is no entry for the new user.  Examination of the new log entries from creation of account to attempted log in provides the following entries:

    I attempted to find more information, and was able to investigate the UPS diagnostic event log (for a different, but identical attempt at creating and using the new profile).  The following two (unhelpful to me) log entries were generated.

  • User profile service incremental sync failure

    Hi all, I'm working for a client that has a failing UPS incremental sync. The scheduled sync was running fine until a couple of weeks ago when it suddenly stopped working. Coincidently, this was also at the same time that they noticed the incremental search
    crawl and UPS audience compilation timer jobs failing. A timer service stop/start fixed the search/audience compilation problems, but they’re still having issues with the UPS incremental sync. I see the following errors in the ULS when the sync fails (nothing

    Other issues
    When creating a new sync connection in CA, the following message is displayed when the connection is saved:
    “Unable to process create message”
    I also see this error message in the logs:
    A update on the configuration of a MA or MV failed to replicate to a target connector directory that is capable of storing MA/MV configurations. As a result, the MA/MV configuration data in this connector directory is not up to date. Please correct
    the condition that causes the error, and triggers a resync by updating the password information of the target MA. Additional information: Error Code: 0x80230709 Error Message: (The extension operation aborted due to an internal error in FIM Synchronization

    The management agent appears in FIM, but isn’t displayed in SharePoint CA (UPS SA). At present we have a few test MA’s that appear in FIM but not in SharePoint CA (UPS SA).
    I’m at a loss as to why this incremental sync has stopped working. It’s also strange that test sync connections are appearing in FIM despite error displayed in CA when provisioning them. Stranger sill, the test sync connections don’t appear in CA, but appear
    in FIM.
    Potential next steps include resetting the profile synchronization DB as detailed here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff681014(v=office.14).aspx#resetSync. If anyone has had any other suggestions, I’d be very grateful to hear about
    them.
    Many thanks

    Try to start full sync,and if it also stop with the same error - try to reset Sync DB using this script:
    $SyncDB = "<Sync DB name>"
    $UserProfilesName = "<User Profile Service Application name>"
    net stop sptimerv4
    $SDB=Get-SPDatabase | where {$_.Name -eq $SyncDB}
    $SDB.Unprovision()
    $SDB.Status='Offline'
    $UPS = Get-SPServiceApplication | where {$_.Displayname -eq $UserProfilesName }
    $UPS.ResetSynchronizationMachine()
    $UPS.ResetSynchronizationDatabase()
    $SDB.Provision()

  • How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

    hi
    i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one 
    when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
    when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one 

    Hi,
    The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
    For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

  • Error - The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed. The user profile can not be loaded

    I am running an environment with an Active Directory and Terminal Servers.
    I have searched high and low for resolutions to this error but I cannot find anything related to my situation, let me explain further.
    The fixes I found are related to local users only.
    When I create a new user in the Active Directory I provide the paths to the profile folder in the "Remote Desktop Profile" and "Profile tab"  lets say for example \\ad001\home\%username% and \\ad001\profil\%username% .
    I give rights to the user to read/write the "home" folder which is mapped for folder redirection.  An I know that when the user first logs on it should create a "v2.%username%" folder upon successful logon.  This is when I am
    presented with the error message below:
    "The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed. 
    The user profile can not be loaded"
    Does anyone have any experience with this or know a suitable fix.  Again this is for the "Roaming" profile creation no local.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Did you receive for any one user or for all users?
    Have you tried to solve the issue by fixing the user account profile?
    For that you can adjust the registry setting “ProfileImagePath” with
    particular SID of that user under below mention path.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Also if this can’t resolve the issue you can try to delete the SID of that user or renaming the old and and then check the result again by creating new profile for that users.
    More information.
    You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message

    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Error creating a new user profile service application: The specified database is not a valid synchronization database

    When trying to create a new user profile service application on a new SharePoint install I get the following error:
    "The specified database is not a valid synchronization database"
    The installation then fails and does not create the third database. 
    I found some threads with similar problems but it involved upgrading an existing db.  In this case we want to create a new one.  Here is the relevant ULS log info:

    I Tried to create another one under a different name (databases also) and I get the same error. 
    The SharePoint instance has the march mandatory update installed.  The sql instance we are using is an existing SQL cluster for other SharePoint poc's. 
    Has anybody seen this issue before? 

    I had the same problem and could not figure out what was wrong for the longest time.  I then had the idea to check in the model system database to see if there were any extra custom tables in that database.  Any tables that are in the model database
    are put into any new database when it is created.  I had some custom tables in the model database so I deleted the custom tables in the model database and deleted the failed user profile service application and its databases and then tried to recreate
    the user profile service application again and it worked with no errors

  • The user profile service: Service failed the log on. User profile can not be loaded.

    I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain. with 2 domain controllers.
    Every new account created in active directory does not seem to work. Even if the account it copied from one that does still work, it still gives the same error when logging in on a network computer (windows 7). "The user profile service: Service failed
    the log on. User profile can not be loaded."
    I have looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215, which unfortunately does not help. Especially since the SID is not there because the user has not managed to log on yet.
    The
    "Do not logon users with temporary profiles" Group Policy setting is not configured.
    And I have tried force replication too.
    I have exhausted all my knowledge.
    Please help
    Regards
    Phil

    It might be that the default user profile is corrupted. See that: https://helgeklein.com/blog/2013/09/error-message-explained-user-profile-service-failed-logon/

  • Can't Log Any Users Onto My Domain Except the Administrator Getting The Following Error "The user profile service failed the logon"

    Hi All,
    I am currently completing a project for college which involves the creation of a domain, OU's, GPO's etc within a virtual environment.
    I am using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running this on VMware however after having completed and tested all my GPO's now none of my users are able to log on to the domain and keep getting the following error message "The user profile service failed
    the logon" "User profile cannot be loaded".
    I have tried to a lot of different options prior to posting which include:
    Creating a new user account/s in case the previous user policies were corrupt the same error message is shown.
    I also configured my DC to allow users to log onto the DC in case this was a network issue but the same error still exists.
    My Administrator account always logs onto the DC without fail and applies all the GPO's as it should.
    I have rebuilt my servers twice now at this stage and the same problems keep happening at first it was just confined to users within a single OU but now is Domain wide any suggestions on what I can do.
    Thanks,
    John

    John,
    Since this is a project, you may have experimented with various settings in multiple Group Policies, so I would recommend you run the Group Policy Modelling Wizard, as it will show you all the GP settings down to a specific user on a specific computer, plus
    tell you which Group Policy sets and which settings, and thereby perhaps find where the problem occurs.

  • This User Profile Application's connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started

    Hi, we had installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 (SP1). And now the user profile service application is not available. Getting this
    Error "This User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started".
    How to troubleshoot the issue anh help/thoughts will be appreciated

    Not sure, if this will help, but in my case all of my services were up and running (including app pools) and also IISRESET did not help. So at that point, looking at the error message, I assumed that there is something wrong with the app pool (or app pool
    credentials) and went to CA --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications and selected UPSA and under properties just created a new app pool to run under farm account (did not want to take any chances).
    As soon as the new app pool was provisioned, the service came back.

  • How can I recover from Windows login failure: User Profile Service failed the login

    I have Boot Camp installed on a separate partition on a MacBook Pro, late 2011 model. I have Mavericks installedd (10.9.1). I use, variously, both Parallels and VM Fusion to access the BootCamp installation of Windows 7.
    Except for having recently installed updates of both VMFusion and Parallels, I got this failure message when trying to login to Windows:: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
    I had just been on Windows a few moments previously to access a business site that only accepts IE. Appreciate any useful insight on dealing with this issue without having to totally replace the BootCamp installation. A lot of the suggestions on Microsoft Windows repair sites are either incomprehensible or don't seem applicable.

    Same problem here. Windows 7 support gives several so-called fixes (including regedit tweaks, eliminating the blocked user account), but all require access to that partition. So far as I know, I have only one user, since this is my personal computer -- unless there is some sort of default "administrator" logon.
    Windows support says the problem might be caused by antivirus software running while we try to logon, but this problem has never happened to me before, and I have not made anti-virus changes (maybe AVG or Avast did so automatically)
    I tried to access regedit through Finder, but get a garbled text-edit with the message that regedit cannot be opened by DOS.
    So I wonder (a) is there a default admin logon? (b) Can we tinker with the settings inside Windows from Finder, or (c) how else can we get into Windows?
    My setup: Macbook Pro (Fall 2010), 10.6.8, boot camp, Windows 7.
