My Sites Export Photos not working

Question

I Have farm with user profile and my sites configuredThere is a two trust between the two farms .When I trying to start the user profile synchronization service i had to use the IP address of the Domain controller as the name could be resolved and it kept
saying LDAP server is unavailable.
The user profile service is working  and  the profiles have imported successfully.
1) I edited the user profile properties to import the user photos which seems to be working now
2) But when I edited the picture property and set the direction to export.  The  crawl showed not success in the FIM logs for DC_export and the photos where not exported.
I have SSL certificates added to the web front ends  . I have also configured AAM.
In the logs i get following errors
a)Is there any article which details how to configure the MIISClient to check if the export property is actually being exported
b) IS there any article which gives provides information if this issue is caused by SSL certificates.
c)
User Profile Application: SynchronizeMIIS encounters an exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi,
So you  mean you set the thumbnailPhoto to import from your AD Connector? How do you know the thumbnailPhoto is not being imported and this caused FIM to fail?
After you run a full import please run the following:
Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation http://<YourServerName>/my
Note: Use the above SharePoint PowerShell cmdlet command to perform the import operation:
Cheers,
