Hey Marko, The approach I take with setting this up in new non-prod environments is to:
Backup and restore the *ProfileDB* from production into the SQL Server of the new environment, and also the *SocialDB*. DO NOT restore the *SyncDB* Use the following powershell to provision the service application: New-SPServiceApplicationPool –Name "User Profile Service Application Pool" –Account "DOMAIN\UPSAACCOUNT" $upa= New-SPProfileServiceApplication –Name "User Profile Service Application" –ApplicationPool "User Profile Service Application Pool" –ProfileDBName "RESTORED_ProfileDB" –SocialDBName "RESTORED_SocialDB" –ProfileSyncDBName "DOESNT_EXIST_YET_SyncDB" New-SPProfileServiceApplicationProxy –ServiceApplication $upa –Name "User Profile Service Application Proxy" –DefaultProxyGroup Note the above command will create a fresh new SyncDB and reuse your restored ProfileDB and SocialDB. When completed, go in to the user profile service application and manually recreate your synchronisation connection etc. and run a full sync. The benefit of this approach is after you're done you should have your user profile data from production restored into your new environment :) I also restore the My Site content db from prod as as a seperate step as well. If your having dramas creating this, the above probably won't fix any of your issues :( Regards, Sezai Komur SharePoint Solutions Architect | SharePoint Server MVP NEC IT Solutions On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 10:55 AM, Marko Salonen < marko.salo...@moretonbay.qld.gov.au> wrote: > 10.50.1600.1 so SQL 2008 R2 with no patches**** > > ** ** > > Regards,**** > > ** ** > > Marko**** > > ** ** > > -- **** > > Marko Salonen > Senior Applications Analyst**** > > Moreton Bay Regional Council > 220 Gympie Road, Strathpine Q 4500 > P 07 3480 6531**** > > F 07 5433 2188**** > > www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au**** > > ** ** > > *From:* ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] *On > Behalf Of *Chris Howell > *Sent:* Friday, 24 August 2012 12:48 PM > *To:* ozMOSS > *Subject:* Re: User Profile Service**** > > ** ** > > Hi Marco,**** > > ** ** > > What is your patch level on the SQL server?**** > > ** ** > > From my experience with UPS, all my issues were fixed by a SQL patch.**** > > ** ** > > Chris**** > > On 24 August 2012 12:20, Marko Salonen < > marko.salo...@moretonbay.qld.gov.au> wrote:**** > > Hi All**** > > **** > > Wow, what a week.
