The User profile synchronization Full , runs for 1 second successfully

Hi!
On our sharepoint 2013 farm we can run the user profile incremental synchronzation timer job without issues, it runs for about 2-3 min.
However when trying to run a Full import, we observe that the full user profile synchhronization job only runs for a second and is finished. There must be something wrong..
The user profile service and synchronzation service are up and running. The connections to Active directory are present and working (incremental synchronization works).
Have anyone experienced this?

Hello Bjorn,
You should not run Full incremental until anything on UPA is broken. It should be only ran in case of disaster and recovery.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Anyone tried using LDIF file in the User Profile Synchronization Process?

Microsoft pushied an article recently talking about using LDIF file in the SharePoint's user profile synchronization.
Configure profile synchronization using a Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) file (SharePoint Server 2010) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff959234.aspx
Currently I am unable to obtain the required "Replicate Directory Change" permission set up by the AD admin. So I thought of exploring this alternative since I still have AD search permission right now.
So far, I was able to set up the MOSSLDAP-LDIFMA, and use an import.ldif file to add, remove and update user profiles. However, there are some problems that I can't resolve. One of key problems is, the LDIF-imported records can't be
sync'd with login-based records.
In my environment, when a user login SharePoint via Windows authentication, a new profile would be added, under the account name "domain\username". Meanwhile, when an LDIF record imported, there will be another profile created under the account
name "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username". That is, there would be two profiles for each user.
Based on my understanding, it is very likely the user profile synchronization is based on the user's account name. But in document and sample files provided, I can't find out any clue how to prepare the ldif file so that it will update the
matching records, instead of creating new ones.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone managed to get this to work?
It's nice that Microsoft offers the ability to import user profiles via LDIF into SharePoint, but it is useless if the account name is not correct after the import. I have tried multiple imports from the LDIF to get a user account to show up as "domain\username" but
it always ends up as "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username". or a variation
of these 2 with a colon separating the domain form the username. i see that multiple people have had the same problem, but unfortunetaly can't seem to find a solution. Also I see Bradley mentions that he was able to import accounts using get-QADUser,
but he doesnt mention what the accounts import as or if it resolved the domain colon issue.
Thanks in advance for any help or information anyone can provide.
cheers,
Zed

I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me. Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade. I have never heard of such. It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple. So stupid. I will not pay full price for the upgrade. Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ? I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not. It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.

iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

User profile synchronization service wont start after SharePoint Service pack SP2

Hi
-Using SharePoint 2010 with 1 appserver and 2 frontend webservers on Service Pack2. (ms server 2008r2, SQLServer2008r2).
-Farmaccount has been set to local admin on all sp servers.
-Firstly, the User Profile Service Application runs fine and is started. Dont mix it with the User profile synchronization Service.
Prior to installing SP2 User profile service application and user profile synchronization service were running fine.
The first thing I did after the installation of SP2 was running the:
-psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait
As SharePoint setup user (spadmin).
This ran fine on the 2 front end web servers.
However i got one fault on the Appserver:
I have also tried:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
which led to same resulting error.
So I tried to start the Use profile synchronization service as suggested manually by logging on with the Farmaccount, starting the user profile synchronization service through Central Administration. This led to Stuck on Starting status.
The windows services Forefront had status starting, then stopped.
One question:
Prior to starting the User profile synchronization service through Central Administration. What account and startup status should the 2 Forefront Windows Services have? (Automatic and local system?) or (Automatic and Farmaccount?) or (Disabled and Local
system?) or (Disabled and farmaccount?). Because i know that SharePoint UPA will provision these services though Central Administration. However what is the default state prior to starting the Synchronization service?
So i continue...
Since it was stuck on starting i stopped it with:
stop-SPServiceInstance -identity <upaSyncguid>
which gave me:
Stop-SPServiceInstance : An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administrat
ion.SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition named "job-service-instance-36bdf2ef-58f2-45
e5-8f78-ab75f646611a" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Admi
nistration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4". Rename your object or delete the
and i could fix with:
#Stop the stopping:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ProfileSynchronizationService, Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles,
Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" -servicename FIMSynchronizationService
I also removed the forefront certificate from personal - certificate store, as this is provisioned when user profile synchronization service is provisioned.
That set the Central Administration Status on the User profile synchronization Service to disabled. Fine.
Everytime i tried to start the user profile synchronization service (logged on as farmaccount), left it for 10-15 min and did iisreset and restart sharepoint timer service, and also tried rebooting the appserver. No change.
A thought, is it important to restart timer service and do iisreset on the two frontend servers after trying to start the user profile synchronization service on the appserver?
I'm getting to the point were i just want to delete the whole service application and set it up anew...
any tips will be greatly appreaciated.

You're very welcome, hope it helped, if not the I suggest you clear the configuration cache as follows.
The config cache is where config settings are stored locally on the Microsoft SharePoint server, so a SQL call isn’t required.
To clear the cache:
Stop the SP Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Stop.
Close the Services console.
On the computer that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and on which the Central Administration site is hosted, click
Start, click Run, type explorer, and then press ENTER.
In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the following folder:
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
Notes
The %SystemDrive% system variable specifies the letter of the drive on which Windows is installed. By default, Windows is installed on drive C.
The GUID placeholder specifies the GUID folder. There may be more than one of these.
The ProgramData folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
In the Advanced settings list, click Show hidden files and folders under
Hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
You can also simply type this directly in the path if you do not want to show hidden files and folders.
Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you
do NOT delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the
File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini file should be the number 1)
On the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Start.
Close the Services console.
Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.

Temp-Contract Worker User Profile Synchronization in SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on what is the best practice for configuring Temp or Contract worker user profile services in SharePoint 2013. We have had lot of issues within MySites when we make these types of workers AD account inactive
and then active again when they come back on projects. The user profile synchronization does not work correctly and MySites has issues loading the profile etc. Also in the same context are there best practices for Name/Title/Department changes as well.
thank you for your feedback!
AJ
Ajay Mandal

Given what you describe I assume you've created a user profile Sync connection filter to remove disabled AD accounts from the user profile sync. That's why you are running into problems. When a user is missing from the import their profile is
deleted within an hour or so, but their MySite isn't deleted for 14 days (to allow time for a manager to clean it off). If the user is reactivated within the 14 day period their old mySite is still there, but is no longer referenced by the new profile
that is created. So When the user goes to their profile it tries to create a new mySite where one already exists. It can't do that.
The same thing will happen if you delete the contractor's user account, but then recreate them in AD when they return. The only way to fix it is to make sure both the profile and mySite site collection in /Personal/ have been deleted before re-adding
an old contractor.

User Profiles Synchronization Error Event id 5553 - Every hour

I am getting these 2 events logged in the event viewer when the user profile synch is attempted:
First event:
Second Event: (although we don't always get this error with the one above)

Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?

When I run the stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases 5 <- no matter whst number is here I get:
"A failure occurred during the processing of this command. Check diagnostic logs for more information."
There is nothing in the ULS logs
Same problem here.
Hoping this will fix a slightly different issue though. My issue is the profile doesn't update with changes in Active Directory and therefore there isn't anything new for the content databases
to sync with.
If I delete my personal profile in the UPS Service -> Manage User Profiles and then click on MySite -> MyProfile it recreates my profile with the new Active Directory values
(without having to do a UPS Sync) and I don't know why these values exist but of cause in doing this I lose all the non AD imported values.
I've been working on this for nearly a week now. I've learnt a lot about the UPS but still no solution. Great article on how the Sync works by the way if anyone is interested can be found here
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/spsocial/archive/2010/05/04/conceptual-view-of-how-user-profile-synchronization-works-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
I have been recommended to perform stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases in the following post but I am unable to do so.

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?

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

Hello,
Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
Typically the event log will contain entries like
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

Hi,
When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
Thanks,
Novak

"Please Wait For The User Profile Service" message when logging on to TS 2008

I have a Windows 2008 AD Domain with 2 Windows 2008 Terminal Servers. Both are configured identically. I have the TS Roaming profiles stored on a 3rd server and a GPO pointing all users to the roaming profiles. On one of the servers everything works perfectly. On the second server the users, after they input their credentials, get the following message "Please Wait For The User Profile Service". The message can stay there for up to 3 minutes, then they are logged innormall with the correct profile. This problem does not occur on log off. Any help would be appreciated

99% of the times I had this problem it was caused by either DNS issues or network bindings.
Are your servers multihomed? In other words: do you have multiple network cards? If so, make sure your "production" card is on top in the network connections -> advanced settings -> adapters and bindings.
You could also enable user env logging (search microsoft how to do that)

Some of the users Profile photo is not showing in sharepoint team sites

Some of the users Profile photo is not showing in the list of SharePoint team site.
In the people picker their picture is grayed out but if you click on their name it will direct you to their mysite and the picture is there.
Can some body help on this.

Try running:
stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases 0
Then, run the timer job named similar to "User Profile Service Application - User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization". Wait for it to complete, then re-check the profile photo on the SharePoint site.

User Profile Synchronization not displaying Title field correctly

Hello,
I've an issue with User Profile Synchronization (SP 2010). The Title field is displaying correctly for most of the users but still there are few user for them the Title field is blank. However in "User Information List" it displays the Title field
properly for those users. But in Central Administration when I check the User Profiles it's blank.I have already run Full Profile Synchronization few times in Central Administrations. Every time it's shows as successful but still no luck, still the Title field
is blank for some profiles.
Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/926abf50-83a0-4e9c-a4cb-4848fcf4f88d/sharepoint-2010-userprofile-title-field-empty?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

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

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.

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...
