I have a new SharePoint 2010 server farm that I'm trying to configure. Installation went fine. But I'm having trouble getting the user profiles to import.

I've created the User Profile service application, and the two user profile services are running. However, whenever I try to create a synchronization connection to our AD servers, I'm getting the following error: "The operation was aborted because the client side timeout limit was exceeded."

In the SharePoint logs, when I filter based on the correlation ID, I get the following messages:

Name=Request (POST:http://poc-bi-sp:8080/_layouts/EditDSServer.aspx?ApplicationID=b24e2e83%2D4d0a%2D4015%2D9f02%2D7969967e9733)

As a side note, our AD structure is set up with 1 root domain, and 3 child domains. The SharePoint server and all the service accounts are running in the root domain, but I'm trying to set up a connection to one of the child domains. The connection service account has been granted "Replicate Directory Changes" permission on both the root and the target child domain.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks.

  • Don't understand why, but I was able to create the connection for the target child domain yesterday. However, I'm am still unable to target my root domain. As well, on the connection creation screen, I am unable to expand the root domain to select the appropriate OU. When I click the "+" beside my root domain, nothing happens. On the other 3 child domains, they expand fine.

  • PS. I have verified that the service account I'm using is able to view objects in the root domain.

  • New update: Went in today to try and make some changes to the OUs being selected for import in the target child domain, and I'm getting the client site timeout error again. This is becoming very frustrating.

Make sure that both FIM services is started on the server running the UPS.

  • An addition to this. If you are setting up a dev server and have SQL and UPS on the same box then the FIMService might not always start when booting since it is trying to connect to SQL Server which might not have started yet. If so then you have to manually start the FIMService (start-service FIMService)

  • Thanks Wictor. Both FIM services were/are up and running, and the SQL Server is running on a separate VM.

forget about permissions. this is a known issue with timeouts - full ULS is needed to diagnose.

  • I'd be happy to provide that. What do you need me to do?

One tool i find very usefull, besides various tips on the web, is the new tool called MSIISCLient.exe. To monitor your User Profile imports go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell\ and run MSIISClient.exe.

Keep that running while launching your syncronization. If still doesn't give you anything, may I suggest you re-do it, but make sure all pre-requisites that Spence H. and Shane Young(http://msmvps.com/blogs/shane/archive/2010/07/09/configuring-profile-import-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx) are mentioning, REBOOT, REBOOT and REBOOT (particularly after changing stuff in AD) and try re-creating your services, add PERMISSIONS.

Hope it helps, C. Marius

Worked with MS Support on this and finally got it working. A couple things that we had to do:

1) Increase the LdapConnectionTimeout value to 60 seconds on the user profile proxy. More info on how to do that can be found on Spence's latest UP Sync article.

2) Change the "LDAP client security requirements" on the SharePoint server from "Negotiate Signing" to "None". This can be found under the Local Policy --> Security Options --> "Network Security: LDAP client signing requirements".
