Answer 1

• Make sure that Farm Administrator account must be a Local Administrator on the server where the User Profile Synchronization Service will be provisioned.
• Navigate to Central Administration >> Application Management >> Manage Service Manage Application>> Click on New >> Select

• Enter Name, Application Pool Name and account

• Now enter the name of other databases like Social, profile etc. I will leave it by default

• Now start the User profile service by going into Central Admin >> System Service>> Manage Services on the server

• Now start User Profile Synchronization Service by giving the Farm admin credentials

• Make sure that ForeFront Identity Manager Services (FIM) are correctly configured and started
• Perform an IISReset and go get a coffee cup :)
• Now, set up the sync connection by going to Manage Service Application > User Profile Service > Configure Synchronization Connection > Create new Connection (Note sync account in this case, dev_spadaccount must be granted the Create Child Objects (permissions) on the OU you are Syncing with.
• Populate the containers and select the required AD's Organization Unit to be Synced. Click on and Start the Full Import.
• Remove the Farm account from local admins on the box running FIM

Happy SharePointing!
