An excerpt from the MS Sharepoint Team Blog on User Profile Synchronization
Before we get into the deep details, I want to share a high-level checklist to setup User Profile syncing
on Windows Server 2008.Once the WCF hotfix for Windows Server 2008 R2 is available, this guidance will work on R2.This checklist is for beta only – we plan to improve how this works by RTM.
- Check that your system meets minimum requirements: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(office.14).aspx
- Start with a clean OS install
- Check that the WCF hotfix is installed
Windows Server 2008 WCF hotfix http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=160770
Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 WCF hotfix http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=23806
- Check that you have done a "Complete" install of SharePoint Server 2010
- Check that the setup/farm admin account has "Replicating directory changes" in your test domain
- Use the farm configuration wizard to setup all the service applications and successfully create a site collection
- Check that statistics (i.e. Number of User Profiles, etc.) appear on the User Profile Service Application page
- Start the User Profile Synchronization Service and status changes to "Started" – this can take some time and this will configure and start the Forefront Identity services for you (do not try to manually set the logon credentials and start the service)
- Setup an Active Directory Connection
- Start a full Profile import
