User profile service not updating 'Title' in user information list

Hi,
In our SharePoint farm, following two user profile sync timer jobs are successfully running but not updating the 'Title' in the hidden user information list.
User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization.
Can someone point me to the right direction? Please note that I don't want to use powershell script shown here to update the 'Title' in the user information list -

Hi,
There are two jobs, User Profile to SharePoint Quick Sync and User Profile to SharePoint Full Sync, that synchronize the User Profile database information with the user information list. Sometimes this stops working (properly) and in that case
you need to run:
Stsadm.exe –o sync –listolddatabases 0
Stsadm.exe –o sync –deleteolddatabases 0
The first command will display all the databases and when they have been sync’d last.
The second command will delete the records corresponding to those databases (it doesn't delete databases/end user data).
Anyways, running this will basically tell the timer jobs that they have never sync’d and force them to carry on as if it’s the first time.
Go to Central Admin and fire off the User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
job.
For detailed information, refer to the following article:

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.

How to Update Picture column in User Information List?

Hi,
The user updated his profile picture in mysite about 10 days ago. The updated picture is shown on his mysite but the same is not in sync with User Information List. The 2 timer job which takes care of the profile synchronization are scheduled as below:
Profile Synchronization : hourly
Quick Profile Synchronization : every 2 minutes
And both the timer job status are shown as successful, yet the picture url is not updated.
Can anyone kindly let me know is there any way to update the same manually.
Please note that the version of SharEPoint is 2007 and Windows server 2003.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sheetal Lomate,
It is correct to check the profile synchronization jobs to make sure profile information syncs between user profiles and user information list.
If it is still not synced, please use the following stsadm command:
stsadm –o sync –listolddatabases <x number of days>
If one or more content databases show up in this list, clean up the list, they can be added to the list again:
stsadm –o sync –deleteolddatabases <x number of days>

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 -

Any suggestions / help please.

I identified the issue
"camlqry.set_viewXml" is a method (camlqry.set_viewXml()) not a property (as apposed to C#).
The above should be like "camlqry.set_viewXml(querystring)" instead of "camlqry.set_viewXml =qrystring".

How to add user information list in site page using out of box

Hi,
Kindly suggest me any solutions or reference links regarding adding user information list in one of the site pages using out of box.
Thanks
Razvi444

Hello Razvi444,
it is not clear what you are trying to accomplish, but for your information User Information List could be find under <your_site>/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0. If you would
like to display all user on the page you need to develop a custom web part and using the aforementioned URL all user could be displayed on your page.
Or you could also edit the page and insert a link (/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0), set a description. SharePoint will name it people.aspx. After that you could "Edit Source" and rename it accordingly.
Let me know if this one is helpful.
Enjoy!

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

Validate "work e-mail" from user information list --give me wrong result

How can I validate the user "work email" from User Information List is working

I am following this >> http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/e4d41f77-c7e4-40ef-b85f-de7f972f2a3f/allow-submitter-see-only-the-items-that-are-relevant-to-him-in-drop-down-list?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious#4d63b721-7acb-463a-b578-87eb1d72b5f1

\username domain \username (example: americas\admin_andress_belloamericas\admin_andress_belloamericas\admin_andress_bello)
CRISTINA&amp MICROSOFT Forum

Hi,
How did you validate the work e-mail?
I recommend to set another text field to get the email of the user from User Information List and then use the text field for validation.
Could you please provide an example of your requirement for reproducing this issue?

Sharepoint 2010 Content Deployemnt Job issue with duplicate fields in User information List

Hi friends,
I am facing below issue with the content deployment job.
It was working earlier. But now since from couple of days all the content deployment jobs in production environment are failing with below error.
Field name already exists. The name used for this field is already used by another field in the list. Select another name and try again.
ObjectName="User Information List".
When I check the fields in User information list in targeted site, I found couple of columns are dupicate like "ask me about",first name","Last name" etc.
Do i Need to drop target site collection or recreate with fresh content deployment job.
Please suggest.
Please help .
Regards
Subrat

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got duplicate field error.
Based on the error message, you can try to use the following code sample to remove duplicate records, and check whether it works:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneralprevious/thread/41ee04bd-91fb-4bf9-932a-bac42c56c357
Here is a similar issue, you can also use the ‘RemoveDuplicateColumn64’ provided:
http://sharepointsurfer.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/how-to-fix-publishing-site-content-deployment-error-duplicate-first-name-column/
What’s more, as you had said, you can recreate a site with a fresh deployment job.

User Profile Service Not Syncing Membership Groups

We have noticed that since moving to SharePoint 2013 user memberships and followed sites on users mysites are not updating to remove sites that no longer exist or add new sites into the list. I tried the steps that used to fix this under 2010 outlined
here: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703630 but they do not seem to resolve the issue anymore. Has anyone had this happen to them in 2013 and figured out the steps to resolve it? To me it looks like the UserProfileService is not able to find
or refresh memberships into the user profile databases. Normally this is a permissions issue but the farm account and the account running the user profile service both have full control to the content databases.

Hi Matthew,
Per my knowledge, the Memberships web part is not fully supported in SharePoint 2013, and the memberships in SharePoint sites cannot be updated.
The links below is for Office 365, however it’s true for SharePoint 2013:

As a workaround, you can use the new feature Following to follow the sites in SharePoint 2013:

Name in profile does not update

Hi, I changed my name in my profile just to see what it would look like and then I changed it back, but it looks as though it does not update. I tried several times doing this and same results. I need my Skype name to how I save it on my profile.
Please assisst.
Thank you.
Maurice.

I understand what you're asking, however the PowerShell script doesn't fix the underlying sync issue. It only masks it by resolving it for that single time. You'd have to re-run it constantly to keep Site Collections updated.
If you run stsadm -o sync deleteolddatabases 0, you run that once and let the UPA -> SharePoint sync timer job complete. The UPA -> SharePoint sync incremental timer job will pick up after that and regularly keep the user's up-to-date.

Outlook 2010 SP1 Profile Does Not Update After Moving Mailbox Between Exchange 2010 SP2 Sites

I am working on a large mailbox migration from one AD site to another.
Exchange version at both sites:Exchange 2010 SP2
Two Mailbox Servers: MBX01 in site A / MBX02 in site B
(There is a DAG but keeping this simple)
Two CAS Arrays: CASA.domain.com / CASB.domain.com
The RPCClientAccessServer property is set accordingly. Where MBX01 is set to CASA.domain.com and MBX02 is set to CASB.domain.com
Clients:Outlook 2010 SP1
Scenario: I successfully move a mailbox from Site A to Site B. The Outlook client does not automatically update its server settings to point to the new cas array (CASB.domain.com) and continues to connect to the old CAS server (CASA.domain.com).
I have seen a few articles regarding this pointing to workarounds such as:
- repairing the outlook profile on the client
- delete the existing outlook profile
- run a script to update the prf file (re-cache's email at the client)
I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this, what their solution was for a large migration and if any roll-ups or service packs have possibly fixed this problem.
I would also like to know if you have seen this affect ActiveSync devices. I am getting mixed results in my tests and thought it may be contributed toward different device types, mobile os versions, etc...
I have posted this to the Exchange 2010 forum as well, just wasn't sure where to start.
Thanks.
Mike

Facebook Contacts Profile Pics not updating on Incredible

Just like the title says - after syncing everything with facebook to my current contacts (people) list, the current facebook display picture appears. However, if one of my contacts changes their facebook display picture - it won't change in the contacts (people) list to the new, current display pic. Even if you go into the online directories and update the facebook list you get the current display picture in that list but it doesn't transfer over to the linked phone contact display.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how to correct this?????

I am experiencing the same thing, and it's bugging the heck out of me as well. I have tried everything and it just doesn't add up. I know that People is syncing with FB as I am seeing status updates, but I have at least 5 friends/contacts whose photos are not updated. WEIRD if you ask me.
I have sync'd, unsync'd, downloaded lastest FB widget, signed out of Facebook, signed out of FB for HTCSense, shut-off, turned on..... YOU NAME IT!
Will sit tight until someone has a fix.
