Failure trying to synch web application 24123a93-fee7-4540-9ad6-9660ccd71a9d, ContentDB e0d1fe1b-7c22-4d93-a635-95ec4766a8b0 Exception message was Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException: No User Profile Application available to service the request. Contact your farm administrator.

 

The FIM Client is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe

 

 

SQL Server is a local instance on my SharePoint machine.  I encountered a race condition where the ForeFront Identity Management Service was attempting to start and connect to its databases before SQL Server could bring all the databases online.  FIM gives up and just shuts the service down.

 When FIM is not running, no profiles can be synched, even if you've already created a connection and already successfully run a sync.  When FIM is offline, if  you go to your User Profile Service App and click "Configure Synchronization Connections", it will say that it can't find any.

 When Windows started up, I would see a couple of errors like:

 Description:

The Forefront Identity Manager Service cannot connect to the SQL Database Server. The SQL Server could not be contacted.

The connection failure may be due to a network failure, firewall configuration error, or other connection issue. Additionally, the SQL Server connection information could be configured incorrectly.  

Verify that the SQL Server is reachable from the Forefront Identity Manager Service computer. Ensure that SQL Server is running, that the network connection is active, and that the firewall is configured properly.

Last, verify the connection information has been configured properly. This configuration is stored in the Windows Registry.

 

This is slightly different from the ForeFront Identity Manager Event 3 error I saw above.  What would happen is that FIM would try to connect to its database, and fail, and then the service would shut itself off.  Without an error.  This means that, if you set the FIM service to "Restart on error", it would not restart, because no error was thrown.   I ended up setting the FIM service's startup mode to "Automatic (Delayed Start).  I had learned that this mode actually makes the service wait until all the other services whose startup mode is set to "Automatic" are done starting, before it is allowed to start.  This keeps you from having to hack the registry to set service dependencies. 

 

Note: I have noticed that, even when the FIM service is configured as described in the item above, you may still occasionally see the "Microsoft.ResourceManagement.ServiceHealthSource" Event 22, typically when a sync is beginning or when FIM is starting up.  Then (as far as I know) everything works normally.

I have been seeing some errors that look like this:

 I have read that this can happen if the local Network Service account doesn't have Read/Execute permission to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\* folder.  I updated the permissions today and I'll let you know if that works.

Binnen Premium dit Network Service account toegevoegd aan de hierbovengenoemde folder met Read/Execute rechten

 

 

 

The strange thing is that the User Profile Service actually seems to be working fine; data appears to be synchronizing with both my AD connection and with my BCS connection into a Great Plains employee data store. My Sites seem to be functioning correctly, as well. However, I'm concerned that something is going to bite me at some point going forward.

I have checked and can confirm the following:

• The Upser Profile service account is a domain account with local admin rights, and full rights on the SQL server (db_owner on all SharePoint-related databases). The account also has all rights that should be necessary (as identified in this blog posting http://blogs.msdn.com/b/spses/archive/2010/04/01/sharepoint-2010-provisioning-user-profile-synchronization.aspx)
  
• The service account also has read & Execute permission on the Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0 directory structure (not sure if this is needed, but it was mentioned in another blog post that I found (http://2010ftw.spoint.me/), though I haven't re-booted the box since making this permissions change, so maybe it hasn't applied yet (grasping at straws)
  

 

 

OPLOSSING:

Open Central Admin op de Premium omgeving

http://aw65.amsterdam.e-office.com:55555/default.aspx

Open Application management

Kies Manage Services

Stop de User Profile Synchronization Service en Start deze vervolgens weer

Er verschijnt een login scherm

Voer wachtwoord in: pR6baxut (2x) en start de service

 

De service zal in eerste instantie niet opstarten maar houdt de status: STARTING

Voer op de server een IISRESET /NOFORCE uit

 

Hierdoor zal de service wel starten en is t probleem (vooralsnog) opgelost
