  • Any Benefit to having User Profile Service on more than one server

    I have an application that uses UPSA and UPSS, the User profile Service and Sync Service are started on the same server
    Is there any point in having the User Profile Service started on a second server for redundancy.
    I understand that a UP Sync Service can only be associalted with one User Profile Service Application
    Can I make my User profile Service Fault tolerant by starting the service  on more than one server?
    I am not looking to create  a second Use Profile Service Application to have seperate DB's and things
    Just to have User Profile still avaialble when the serevr hosting it has an issue
    thanks
    themush

    To get the round robin load balancing, just start the service in Services on Server on more than one server.

  • User Profile Service - User Profile Incremental Synchronization Timer job stuck at 33% Status: Pausing

    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) 
    In synchronization serivce manager status of MOSS_DeltaImport is Inprogress from past 2 days  
    Best Regards.

    Hi,
    Please follow the steps in the link below to clear the configuration cache.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

    Or try to clear the file system cache on all servers in the server farm on which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service is running. Microsoft has provided a step by step procedure on clearing file system cache from the SharePoint front-end servers
    in this kb article.

  • How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

    hi
    i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one 
    when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
    when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one 

    Hi,
    The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
    For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

  • User Profile Services start in all sharepoint servers in farm

    Hi,
    Do we need to start the below services in all sharepoint servers in farm?
    1) User Profile Service
    2) User Profile Synchronization Service 
    Thanks....
     

    Hi,
    The Web Front end Server is the server that is hosting IIS and serves the websites.
    An Application Server  has services on it, for example, like Excel services, Project server, etc..
    A database server simply hosts the SharePoint core db's and the other Content databases.. It just has SQL Server installation on it.
    You only  need to start the User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization Service in the Application Server in farm.

  • This User Profile Application's connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started

    Hi, we had installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 (SP1). And now the user profile service application is not available. Getting this
    Error "This User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started".
    How to troubleshoot the issue anh help/thoughts will be appreciated

    Not sure, if this will help, but in my case all of my services were up and running (including app pools) and also IISRESET did not help. So at that point, looking at the error message, I assumed that there is something wrong with the app pool (or app pool
    credentials) and went to CA --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications and selected UPSA and under properties just created a new app pool to run under farm account (did not want to take any chances).
    As soon as the new app pool was provisioned, the service came back.

    Hi Abhishek,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the User Profile Synchronization service stuck on ‘Starting’ or ‘Stopping’.
    Please check whether you installed SQL 2012 Native Client (Pre-requisites) on SharePoint server. If yes, download and install SQL 2008 R2 Native Client from the below location:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/1/3/9138773A-505D-43E2-AC08-9A77E1E0490B/1033/x64/sqlncli.msi
    From the SharePoint server ->control panel -> add/Remove programs , please confirm that the SQL 2008 Native Client is listed.
    Make sure that the farm account is a member of the Administrators group on the server on which you are trying to start the User Profile Synchronization service, then restart the SharePoint Timer Service.
    Set the FIM services to "Local System" before starting the service.
    There is a troubleshooting for User Profile Synchronization Service start issues, please have a look at:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750257(v=office.14).aspx
    Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

  • Project Server 2010: We want to create the User Profile Service but it keeps hanging when attempted from Central Administration. Any PowerShell commands to do this instead?

    We want to create the User Profile service in Project Service 2010. Are there any PowerShell commands that can be used to achieve this?

  • User profile service failed the logon And cant enter safe mode

    I'm getting this problem with a T510 thinkpad. Ive searched for this and found that the only solution seems to be to start the computer in safe mode, but when I use F8 the computer goes into:
    Error 0210: stuck key 42
    press F1 to start up.
    then F1 leads to the BIOS setup utility, with no option for safe mode.
    when I try the "ThinkVantage" button, i get:
    Startup Interruption Menu
    ESC to resume normal startup
    F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility
    F12 to choose temporary startup device
    again, no safe mode option.
    Using F12 during startup gives me:
    Boot Menu
    2: ATAPI CDO: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7700H- (S2)
    4: ATA HDDO: HITACHI HTS723232A7A364 - (S1)
    5: PCI LAN: IBA GE Slot 00C8 V 1351
    <enter setup>
    in other words still no safe mode!
    I'll confess I'm no techie, in fact it's taken me a loooong time to type this on a tablet...but any help would be much appreciated.
    cheers

  • Initiall SharePoint Server 2013 setup -- unable to manage new User Profile Service Application

    During initial farm setup, creating an initial User Profile Service Application works fine.  However, once it's created, I cannot 'manage' it through the Manage Service Applications page in central
    admin.
    I get a generic error (Sorry, something went wrong / unexpected error) with a correlation ID that doesn't seem to match any ULS log entries. (Yes, I merged logs from all machines in the farm.)
    A Windows event log entry says:
    A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: Endpoint Failure
    Also frequent errors in ULS logs:  (see below)
    UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException     
    User Profile Application      Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Micro…
    SPDistributedCache DataCacheException
    I did notice that the file 'ProfileService.svc does not exist in SharePoint's web services app at the URL you see in the error. (below)
    I also found it interesting that the event log error shows 1 active endpoint and 3 failed endpoints.  I have 2 WFEs and 2 app servers.  But I'm only trying to get the user profile service app running on the application
    servers.  I have deleted and recreated this service app several times under various names (deleted/recreated its app pool as well) and wonder if these other failed endpoints could be orphans from previous instances...
    Any thoughts on how I might successfully create this service application?  I've already been Binging my head against a wall long enough that I would have been better off reinstalling the entire farm...  I may still
    do that.
    FYI, my farm came from a slipstreamed SP1 install package, and received the July CU after several other things were already configured, including the already-failed UP service application.

  • W7: User Profile Service service failed at log on: Apparently W7 is no longer creating any user profile data other than username and picture.

    First time poster, but I think I've done my homework on this issue.
    This issue has similar symptoms to a problem with vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html
    However, it is definitely not the same issue (see further).
    Current Config:
    HP dv7-1450.
    W7 RC 7100 x64
    Last update (up to date as of 8/31/09) installed succesfully 8/26/09 and should be unrelated to this issue (not verified yet by a pre-update restore).
    Running with Admin account while diagnosing/troubleshooting.
    Currently have two working accounts, one standard, one admin.
    Symptom:
    New user accounts cannot be logged into.  On an attempted login to the new account, the following information is displayed on the login screen:  "The User Profile Service service failed the logon.  User profile cannot be loaded."  Windows then logs off the operator and returns to the initial user selection screen.  All other aspects of use are normal.
    Current Diagnostics:
    First attempts to resolve this problem were to recreate the new account.  This was attempted when logged in as both Standard and Admin.  This was also attempted under safe mode.  This has been attempted with virus protection disabled.  All to no difference in the symptom.
    The similarity to the Vista issue (linked above) caused me to check the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ for the new profile (as suggested by that link).  Unlike that issue, there simply is no entry for the new user.  Examination of the new log entries from creation of account to attempted log in provides the following entries:

    Thanks in advance to responders!

    First time poster, but I think I've done my homework on this issue.
    This issue has similar symptoms to a problem with vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html
    However, it is definitely not the same issue (see further).
    Current Config:
    HP dv7-1450.
    W7 RC 7100 x64
    Last update (up to date as of 8/31/09) installed succesfully 8/26/09 and should be unrelated to this issue (not verified yet by a pre-update restore).
    Running with Admin account while diagnosing/troubleshooting.
    Currently have two working accounts, one standard, one admin.
    Symptom:
    New user accounts cannot be logged into.  On an attempted login to the new account, the following information is displayed on the login screen:  "The User Profile Service service failed the logon.  User profile cannot be loaded."  Windows then logs off the operator and returns to the initial user selection screen.  All other aspects of use are normal.
    Current Diagnostics:
    First attempts to resolve this problem were to recreate the new account.  This was attempted when logged in as both Standard and Admin.  This was also attempted under safe mode.  This has been attempted with virus protection disabled.  All to no difference in the symptom.
    The similarity to the Vista issue (linked above) caused me to check the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ for the new profile (as suggested by that link).  Unlike that issue, there simply is no entry for the new user.  Examination of the new log entries from creation of account to attempted log in provides the following entries:

  • Error creating a new user profile service application: The specified database is not a valid synchronization database

    When trying to create a new user profile service application on a new SharePoint install I get the following error:
    "The specified database is not a valid synchronization database"
    The installation then fails and does not create the third database. 
    I found some threads with similar problems but it involved upgrading an existing db.  In this case we want to create a new one.  Here is the relevant ULS log info:

    I Tried to create another one under a different name (databases also) and I get the same error. 
    The SharePoint instance has the march mandatory update installed.  The sql instance we are using is an existing SQL cluster for other SharePoint poc's. 
    Has anybody seen this issue before? 

    I had the same problem and could not figure out what was wrong for the longest time.  I then had the idea to check in the model system database to see if there were any extra custom tables in that database.  Any tables that are in the model database
    are put into any new database when it is created.  I had some custom tables in the model database so I deleted the custom tables in the model database and deleted the failed user profile service application and its databases and then tried to recreate
    the user profile service application again and it worked with no errors

  • 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

  • Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Spring update KB2919355) - User Profile Service failed the sign-in

    After installing Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Spring update KB2919355), our enterprise  Windows 8.1 image began getting User Profile Service failed the sign-in. Uninstalling the update fixes the issue. The update somehow modifies the default user
    profile causing write access issues which is evident in the event viewer.
    Things I tried:
    1) Re-applying parent permissions to Default profile folder
    2) Disable CopyProfile before sysprep
    3) Creating a new image with Windows 8.1 Update 1 ISO from Microsoft
    None of them seem to work. I believe update 2919355 will be needed to continue getting future Windows 8.1 update. I might try looking at the specific files that the User Profile Service is complaining about but it seems to be random.
    Anyone else experience this?

    "Place your rig specifics into your signature like I have, makes it 100x easier to understand!"
    I should have included this. It does it on all of our machine builds (we have a few) including VMs. 
    "try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355
    if
    a fresh manual install does not work use
    the tools here"
    Did all of this already at the request of MS and also ran a trace utility they sent me and submitted the results. The Trace revealed nothing remarkable to the analysts that gave any indication of what is causing this.
    MS has acknowledged that there is a problem and for me it has to be an enterprise fix, not an individual run around to every computer. I  have tried removing everything non-Microsoft and will try removing APP-V 5. If it works I will let them know, but
    we can't operate the enterprise without APP-V so this wouldn't be a solution. The trouble is that it is so random that we thought we had it fixed by removing AV and were going to start looking in that direction and it turned out that if you just kept hammering
    it with the logins that it would still manifest, as it has done with everything I have tried so far.

  • User profile service incremental sync failure

    Hi all, I'm working for a client that has a failing UPS incremental sync. The scheduled sync was running fine until a couple of weeks ago when it suddenly stopped working. Coincidently, this was also at the same time that they noticed the incremental search
    crawl and UPS audience compilation timer jobs failing. A timer service stop/start fixed the search/audience compilation problems, but they’re still having issues with the UPS incremental sync. I see the following errors in the ULS when the sync fails (nothing
    logged in FIM operations window):

    Other issues
    When creating a new sync connection in CA, the following message is displayed when the connection is saved:
    “Unable to process create message”
    I also see this error message in the logs:
    A update on the configuration of a MA or MV failed to replicate to a target connector directory that is capable of storing MA/MV configurations. As a result, the MA/MV configuration data in this connector directory is not up to date. Please correct
    the condition that causes the error, and triggers a resync by updating the password information of the target MA. Additional information: Error Code: 0x80230709 Error Message: (The extension operation aborted due to an internal error in FIM Synchronization
    Service.) Operation: Create MA Name of the MA to replicate: MOSSAD-BLAH Guid of the MA to replicate: {BF18A3FA-190D-49F8-878B-D469D545B2A8} Name of the target MA: ILMMA Guid of the target MA: {F2CC710F-99E1-45A2-8F9F-D6A5D1A3CAC4}
    The management agent appears in FIM, but isn’t displayed in SharePoint CA (UPS SA). At present we have a few test MA’s that appear in FIM but not in SharePoint CA (UPS SA).
    I’m at a loss as to why this incremental sync has stopped working. It’s also strange that test sync connections are appearing in FIM despite error displayed in CA when provisioning them. Stranger sill, the test sync connections don’t appear in CA, but appear
    in FIM.
    Potential next steps include resetting the profile synchronization DB as detailed here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff681014(v=office.14).aspx#resetSync. If anyone has had any other suggestions, I’d be very grateful to hear about
    them.
    Many thanks

    Try to start full sync,and if it also stop with the same error - try to reset Sync DB using this script:
    $SyncDB = "<Sync DB name>"
    $UserProfilesName = "<User Profile Service Application name>"
