Sharepoint 2010 User Profile Synchronization hangs on starting
After installation off Sharepoint 2010 I tried to start the User Profile Synchronization service. After pressing start the service stayed on the status starting for ever. See screenshot:
When trying to manage synchronization form user profile management screen I got the alert:
Cannot navigate to the requested page while User Profile Synchronization is running.Please wait for the current Synchronization run to finish
So I checked my installation. I have a special AD account for use with all Sharepoint services. This account was not in thelocal Admin group. So I added the account and still it wouldn’t start.Adding the user to the local admin group should be enough. It seems that my user profile service got corrupted. So I decided to delete my User Profile env and recreate it.
After recreating I tried to start the User Profile Synchronization service. It now starts
In the services management console the fore fron services are now working
And my server is syncing profiles
