Getting app-store-import-exception with FIM-MA Full Imports SQL Timeouts

Question

Hi,
Any idea whats going on here? Full Import on FIM-MA leads to app-store-import-exception.
Here is a quick profile of the situation:
FIM Sync, FIM Service & FIM Portal all are instaled on the same machine with 24GB RAM hosted as a Virtual Machine.
FIM-MA Full Import leads to app-store-import-exception
Event log reports "Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding"
Here is a screen shot: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?e5570db7f6.jpg
As you can see, FIM-MA imported close to 118500 objects before timing out.
Here are the things I have tried:
Extended FIM timeout on the services as per
Darryl's Blog
Provided FIM MA's password as per
Ahmed's suggestion
Restricted SQL Service Max RAM to 15 GB (Machine has 24GB) as per
David Lundell's suggestion
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,

Answer 1

That is unusual. I suggest checking for database integrity and peforming index maintenance, on both the FIMService and FIMSync databases.
You could also increase the following timeout (see link below for more settings)
The values in Table 17 are located in the registry key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service.

The default value is 58, specified in seconds.
