However when trying to Start User Profile Sync Service It shows message starting for few minutes but doen't start (The start button again shows up). The account am using to start service is FarmAdmin and is local admin on server

Oct 3, 2011 at 19:22 comment added daver306 Thanks, Vedran. I actually tried this approach in the mean time and it did work. The new user profile service application gets created and all the Profile and Social data is there. I ran a full sync but realized that the majority of my profiles were flagged for deletion. The MySite Clean Up job eventually ran and deleted majority of the user profiles. Fortunately this is in a dev environment but I'm confused why the profiles got deleted.

Oct 3, 2011 at 18:50 comment added daver306 That's exactly what I thought. I'm running into an issue where I can use the previous Profile and Social DB's but I get an error about the Synchronization DB. The error says it's not a valid sync database. I'm confused why this won't work.
