I have a SharePoint 2016 single server farm. My User Profile Service Application is configured to use the SharePoint Active Directory Import.

I have configured a new Synchronization Connection and set a user with Reading and Replicating Directory Changes permissions.

Then I start a Full Synchronization but nothing is added or updated.

What is missing?

  • Resolved. I configured MIM and using it I was able to have a log. The problem was generated by wrong permission in AD and also wrong service UPS account. Thank you to everybody for the help.

Once the user profile synchronization service is provisioned properly, you should configure the active directory import in Configure Synchronization Setting to Active Directory import

enter image description here

Note: There are two import modes:

  • Active Directory import: This method enables you to import user information from AD DS into SharePoint user profile properties.

  • External identity manager synchronization: SharePoint Server 2013 was bundled with the Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) Sync service to support complex user profile synchronization scenarios with different identity providers.

  • what is the current CU you have installed on your farm? what's the server role, also may be sync connection is not configured to read data from AD so check Configure Sync connections in CA!

  • CU stand for Cumulative Update and CA stand for Central Administration :)
