Sharepoint 2010 user profile full synchronization process
what is the impact of sharepoint 2010 user profile full synchronization process in sharepoint 2010 farm.
If you have 5k users in your environment and you want to run full synchronization process, will that bring any services down?
I guess it should only impact anything related to user profile service?
Is my assumption correct?
features like people search, my profile might be impacted but not the sharepoint site itself ...
Any input will be appreciated...

Running a full synchronisation isn't going to bring down any of your SharePoint services. How much time it takes, and the impact it will have on other SharePoint services all depends on your SharePoint architecture. E.g is the synchronisation server also
a WFE (web front end) server?
According to the TechNet documentation, the synchronisation process makes heavy use of network resources, so that might be a concern.
Also, other factors, such as different synchronisation sources (other LOB systems you might be synchronising with) will have an impact on the time and resources used to perform the synchronisation.
If your SQL servers and SharePoint application servers are sized correctly, you should be fine (from a SharePoint perspective).

Sharepoint 2010 User Profile Service Application
Should I have the need to completely delete and reinstall the User Profile Service Application, will that prevent user logins. We have a great number of users with various grouped and departmentalized permissions and such. I am trying to determine if it
is completely safe to delete the UPSA without messing up the permissions and logins. Please advise.Your UPA deletion will not effect permission on sharepoint site.

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:

Send Email to Admin on User Profile Incremental Synchronization errors
Hi,
How to configure in SharePoint 2010 to send an Email to Admin, when 'User Profile Incremental Synchronization' error occurs?
Thanks,
PravinCorrect. While it would be possible to build some sort of process that resides on the SharePoint server itself, it isn't possible to do this through the SharePoint Object Model.

User Profile Service - User Profile Incremental Synchronization Progress: 33% Status: Pausing
It has been almost 15 days.
Both User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization Service are in Started state and FIM service also starting
I tried clearing sharePoint config cache.
I also restarted the sharepoint timer service.
I tried almost everything that is on Internet but nothing helped me.
Is there any other way to solve the issue as I was struck on production server (ASAP)

oim 11g 11.1.1.5 bp4. high availability with 2 nodes and a balancer.Hi Rajiv:
->Did you make that entry in Lookup as mentioned in that thread/post ?
ANSW: yes.
->Did you use exact naming convention for your tasks ?
ANSW: yes i put the same name that i put in the lookup into my process from.
In which process definition have you created your task. Make sure it should be other than "Xellerate User" process definition.

SharePoint 2013 User Profile Synchronization service problem
After one week trying (three clean installs of SharePoint 2013), I haven't succeed to start "User Profile Synchronization service".
Environment:
Domain environment with two Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers.
Fully qualified domain name matches NetBIOS name (domain.com - DOMAIN)
Two tiers: SQL Server 2014 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2, and SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I'm using named SQL instance for SharePoint (<SQLSRV>\<SHAREPOINT>), and SQL alias on SharePoint app server.
All SharePoint prerequisites are installed successfully.
SharePoint 2013 is installed successfully.
Hotfix 2760265 is installed (before configuring SharePoint)
SharePoint is configured successfully
Preparing MySites host:
MySites web application is created with separate AppPool, and with address https://my.domain.com.
Certificate used is wild-card cert (*.domain.com), issued by trusted local PKI
Managed path "personal" is created
Site collection of type "My Sites Host" is created at root path
"Self-Service Site Creation" is enabled for https://my.domain.com web application
Farm account permissions:
Local admin at SharePoint application server
"Log on locally" at SharePoint application server
"Replicate Directory Changes" at domain level
I've even tried with adding farm account into domain admins group :)
After trying to to start user profile synchronization service, service is in "starting" state about 5-10 min, and then returns to "stopped" state.
ULS log shows the following exceptions:
ILM Configuration: Error 'ERR_CONFIG_DB'
UserProfileApplication.SynchronizeMIIS: Failed to configure MIIS post database, will attempt during next return. Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: ERR_CONFIG_DB
UserProfileApplication.SynchronizeMIIS: Failed to configure MIIS post database, will attempt during next return. Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Event viewer log:
Event ID 6398, The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID <guid>) threw an exception. Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.BulkLMTUpdate: Region not found..
some perfnet event id 2004 errors
Troubleshooting:
I've tried with clearing configuration cache
Assigning farm account to domain admins group
Installing form scratch three times, and thousand times from different checkpoints...
I've saw 'ERR_CONFIG_DB' like million times, but never "Started" next to "User Profile Synchronization service". Does anyone has actually succeeded to start this service? :)
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
P.S. I can't stop asking myself is it was really necessary to develop such complex, problematic, and log-tells-nothing software just for getting user info from AD? Honestly, after more then decade experience as software developer and software architect -
I must say I doubt...

Sharepoint 2010: user information list Vs user profile
I wrote code for getting user details based on username. I am fetching data from user profile using user profile service. But recently I came to know about "user information list" which stores same data as that of user profile.
So, My question is which will be better choice : user profile service OR user information list to get user information ?User Information list has limitation, firstly its hidden, it can be viewed only administrators.
Also you will face issue when you migrate your application to SharePoint 2013.
If you want quick way of know who has permissions you can use this list, but sometime you may end up with outdated user profile(properties) information.
Better try to use User profile service wherever possible.
there is another discussion on this topic here -

DRC: "-- This is a great article which provides in-depth information on internals of Online & Offline rebuild index and Transaction logging. -- The following statement need to be re-written for more clarity. “The less logging can be
attributed to the fact that no information about page allocation is logged information about de-allocation is logged please see below figure 13. Also if you compare amount of record returned in this case we had output containing just 64 rows while offline

Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014
Naomi N
T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""
Manoj Pandey: "Nice article with a different way to resolve a given problem. I think this can also be done by using NTILE() function. I've added the code in comments section."
Rogge H
Extending SYS.Geometry to Utilize Temporal Data
GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"
Hasham Niaz
DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
Jinchun Chen: "Good."
JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

Sharepoint 2010 Permission level Full Control and explicit deny
I am facing a very frustating permission level issue with Sharepoint 2010. First, everything worked as expected up to few days ago.
I have a user on my sharepoint 2010 env (publishing portal) named rjo who is site collection administrator and has also Full Control permission level.
When I execute the Check Permission command from the ribbon I get the following:
Permission levels given to xxxx\rjo
Full Control
Given through the "xxx Owners" group.
The following factors also affect the level of access for xxx\rjo (xxx\rjo)
Deny
Manage Permissions
Create and change permission levels on the Web site and assign permissions to users and groups.
Deny
Create Subsites
Create subsites such as team sites, Meeting Workspace sites, and Document Workspace sites.
etc.. Seems like all the individual permissions are set to deny.
If I remove the user rjo from the Full Control permission level, all the deny permissions disappear. I have tried creating a brand new permission level with Allow permission on al items but I still get the deny when I check the permissions. Notice that this
happens for all the users.
Does anyone experienced a similar issue? I suspect some kind of Windows update to have messed up the permissions but I cannot find a way to get proper permissions to my users.I had a similar issue. When checking user permissions on any member of the site collection Owners group, the results were similar to those posted above. Also noticed that some buttons on the ribbon were missing. Also found that no user
could add content to Library. The Add button was missing. Issue was only happening on one site collection in the web application, so it was not a Web App Policy issue.
Eventually discovered that the site collection was locked as read-only.
Central Administration > Application Management > Configure Quotas and Locks
change the web application and site collection as needed to view setting for the affected site collection
Found lock set to 'Read-only' Changed to 'Not Locked' -
using SharePoint 2010 > under marketing > task, user getting kicked out of share point multiple times. don't know the reason, does any one have any idea, learning about SP, any help will be appreciated.

When we have a new employee transfer to us from another department, their email is created and hidden until they actually make the transfer so they don't have two different email addresses in our global address list. When the transfer is made, the
email address is unhidden, but then we are unable to send emails to them from sharepoint 2010 without doing an IISReset. We are using Exchange 2010. Does anyone have suggestions on how to alleviate this issue?Hi,
I have done a test, no matter the email address is hidden or not, we can both send email to the email address in the same domain.
How was the new employee from another department transferred to your department?
Whether sending emails to them need do an IIS Reset everytime.
Here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

SharePoint 2010 - User Lookup / Temporary Internet Files
Hi everyone! I have a weird one...that I'm hoping is simple for you! :)
ISSUE:
When a users edits an item in a particular list, the User Lookup field displays the following error text: "No exact match found..."
When a user tries to assign permissions (therefore using the lookup), the same error is displayed.
RESOLUTION:
Once the user clears their Temporary Internet Files, the issue is gone.
NOTES from other peer suggestions:
-The sites are in the trusted sites.
-It is not a "document mode" issue.
-It is not a master page doctype issue.
-It is not an IE version issue.
What does this tell me?Hi Jessica,
Internet Explorer: Trusted Sites and Protected Mode:
http://247pearsoned.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8960/~/internet-explorer%3A-trusted-sites-and-protected-mode
Internet Explorer’s Browser Mode vs Document Mode:
http://blog.assortedgarbage.com/2013/05/internet-explorers-browser-mode-vs-document-mode/
Document Type Definition:
http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp
http://sharepointkings.blogspot.com/2009/10/moss-2007-master-page-doctype-issue.html
For IE, different versions will load HTML in different ways.
All of them above can cause some issue. Such as non-trusted site , incompatible document mode, wrong master page doctype and so on. For
troubleshooting render issue, we would check them firstly.
For your issue, the true crime is the Internet Explorer cache. So once you clear the Temporary Internet Files, the issue is solved.
Best Regard
Eric
