FIMSynchronizationService and Sharepoint 2010 August Update

Question

Hi to everyone. I have a question i hope someone here can help.
I recentlly install the update from August 2010 for SharePoint 2010 and the User Profile stop working.
I did some research but i couldn't find a solution.
I notice in my Sharepoint console a pop-up message like this:
"System.ServiceModel.EndPointNotFoundException in OWSTimer.exe 7756"
and did a debug to this error and found the following exception
{"Could not connect to
http://vlaba-sh00:5725/ResourceManagementService/MEX. TCP error code 10061:
 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.0.205:5725. "}
looking at the service i found that the Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization (miiserver.exe) couldnt be started.
every time i started its stop with the following message:
The service: Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization (miiserver.exe)
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

The service was unable to start because the version of the database does not match the version of the product.
Event 6211
also had this event:
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

  </EventData>
  </Event>
both version for miiserver.exe and Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.dll are 4.0.2450.11.
I think the update fix didnt update the values of SyncDB database for the Identity Manager.
Well, i don't know how to fix this problem. If someone can help me i will appreciate it.
A big hug for all of you and thanxs for advance.

Answer 1

I've hit the same issue before. I was able to resolve it in my environment by stopping and restarting the User Profile Synchronization Service in the farm.
Steps:
Central Admin>System Settings>Manage Services on Server (select the server where the User Profile Service is running)
Stop the User Profile Service
Stop the User Profile Synchronization Service (you will be prompted that this will deprovision the service)
Once the services have stopped, Start the User Profile Service again
Start the User Profile Synchronization Service again (you will be prompted to enter the password for the User Profile Service's svc account) -note1: this service can take a little while to restart; note2: if it does not restart successfully, restart
the server and try again (this has worked for me)
Once complete, the User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization service should show as Started, and the 2 corresponding FIM services on the server should be running again
From that point on, my errors went away.
