There are two jobs, User Profile to SharePoint Quick Sync and User Profile to SharePoint Full Sync, that synchronize the User Profile database information with the UIL. Sometimes this stops working (properly) and in that case you need to run:
stsadm -o sync -listolddatabases 0
stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases 0
The first command will list Content ...

Go to "Service Applications -> Manage Service Applications"
Click on "User Profile Service Application"
Click on "Synchronization -> Configure Synchronization Connections"
Click on your connection and select &...

Custom AAD Properties are not synced to SharePoint online User profiles by default/OOTB synchronization mechanism.You can see more details & the list of properties here. Below is an excerpt from the link.

You can perform the following to resolve the issues:
Make sure User Profile Synchronization service is running
In the user profile service application make sure "Profile Synchronization Status" is not stuck in synchronizing state.
Start a full User Profile Synchronization
Re-add forest and make sure the password of the account used for synchronization isn'...

Just to accomplish what John said, you can create a schedules task for the following PowerShell script:
$UserProfileService= Get-SPServiceApplication 42gg4bda-1hd0-4df6-bfgg-54gd4df33ff
$UserProfileService.StartImport($true)
P.S. Full Import can be intensive though so be very careful with the schedule.

I use UserInformationList for User Profile properties. Your requirement can be achieved using $filter operator.
/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/UserInformationList?$filter=startswith(FirstName,'A') or Department eq '{Department Name}' or startswith(LastName, 'A')
Total count will be response.d.results.length.
You have to make a GET request in above end-point. For ...

System account is basically the Web application pool account user which you have passed during web application creation phase. You cannot find this user with account name "SharePoint\System" in User Profile.
This is the account which is used when you run your code in under elevated privileges by SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

To avoid this confusion, let's elaborate the main difference between User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronization service.
User Profile Service:
This service is used to import the users from AD it's one-way sync direction from AD to SharePoint, So if you update any user information from SharePoint it will not be synced to AD.
User Profile ...

Late answer but, The User Profile is not responsible in this case.
SharePoint recognizes AD security groups and attaching permissions to these groups will cause the permissions to be granted to the User.
Unfortunately, due to SharePoint caching the user's memberships on login, changes made to a security group are identified only after the cache has expired,...

using powershell get all services
Get-spserviceinstance
look for the user profile service and copy its GUID!
now stop the service using its guid:
Stop-spserviceinstance <GUID>
now:
go back into Central Administration > Application Management >
Manage Service Applications and delete the User Profile Service
Application.
Restart your ...

You can execute the following PowerShell script. It instantiates the User Profile Manager and loops through each "Profile", copying Unit property value in Units property.
$url = "<mySiteUrl>"
$site = Get-SPSite $url
$context = Get-SPServiceContext $site
$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context)

When switching from one AD-environment to another, you sometimes end up with users who don't get imported correct. You see them when they don't have first name and last name when they are logged in to SharePoint. They have \ visible instead.
But let's start from the beginning and migrate the users with the following command:
STSADM –o migrateuser –oldlogin ...

Two things, the start address for Profiles should be sps3://mysitehost. The permissions on the User Profile Service for the default crawl account has to be allowed to "Retrieve People Data for Search Crawlers". Go to Central Administration | Application Management | Manage Service Applications. Select the User Profile Service Application (don't click the ...

Ok, I know this sounds completely crazy, but here it is: in order for the UPSS to be provisioned and start working, I had to configure the farm service account to have English regional settings.
The server is an English edition of Windows Server 2012, with an English installation of SharePoint 2013 and its Italian language pack; and, since the server is ...

It is recommended to utilize encodeURIComponent in order to encode accountName for GetPropertiesFor method.
function getUserProfile(accountName,success,error)
{
var siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl;
$.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='" + encodeURIComponent(...

I ran into the same issue, user account was a farm admin, local machine administrator, had local run as rights on the server, cleared the SP cache, pretty much everything you tried I had tried.
I found out that the April 2014 CU contained a fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760265) where the User Profile Syncrhonisation service will not run when using ...

You can edit the User Profile Service Synchronization Connection to Active Directory.

Then make sure all the required OUs are selected. Thereafter do a full synchronization for the user profile ...

You can use the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.Utility.ResolvePrincipal method. For example:
Web web = context.Web;
string email = "emailaddress@yourdomain.com";
PeopleManager peopleManager = new PeopleManager(context);
ClientResult<PrincipalInfo> principal = Utility.ResolvePrincipal(context, web, email, ...

The behavior of UPSS starting then stopped has more reasons, so you should make sure that:
You are using the Farm Account to start UPSs.
The Farm account is added to local administrator group during starting UPS service.
Adding the service account running User Profile Sync Service to local administrator group on the server running Distributed Cache.

It's definitely doable. On European SharePoint Conference 2015 in Stockholm, Patrick Curran showed us in a demo how this worked. From an architectural viewpoint this is how it works with the new Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) which is the same as Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) for 2013.
The presentation is available here: Expanding User Profiles with ...

Yes you are correct UPSS is the one who sync with AD. But make sure your FIM is running if yes then you will be able to sync AD contact. for more dig into this please check MIISCLIENT.MSC this will show you the detail of sync. also there are three options
Use SharePoint Profile Synchronization
Use SharePoint Active Directory Import
Enable External Identity ...

'A failure occurred during the processing of this command. Check diagnostic logs for more information' is in fact "Access Denied error to the User Profile Service Application".

If anyone is interested, i created a script that cleans up and starts the Synchronization serivice for you:

I use it all the time myself, saving a lot of time:-)
It stops a stuck synchronzation (Stuck on starting/stopping), clears forefront certificates, deletes the one time ...

Microsoft has added an article on how to Reset profile synchronization using powershell Maintain user profile synchronization settings in SharePoint Server 2013
To get the User Profile Service application object, type the following command:
$upa = Get-spserviceapplication <identity>
To view the users and groups to delete, type the following command:

You do indeed have methods for getting manager, peers and direct reports:
// Check whether the user profile and the manager user profile exist, and that they are not
// the same user.
if (userProfileManager.UserExists(loginName))
{
// Retrieve the user profile.

I found this great article on how to accomplish this.
Assuming that you already have basic user profile synchronization working, the steps are:
Create an import PictureUrl mapping - Go to your Central Admin site "Manage Service Applications -> User Profile Service Application -> Manager User Properties -> Picture" and select "thumbnailPhoto" as the ...

Your code can't work, too many errors to list.
The following code would delete the user profile property "Company":
Add-Type -Path "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\15\isapi\microsoft.office.server.dll"
$site = Get-SPSite -Limit 1 #get site for context
$ctx = Get-SPServiceContext($site) #get context

I have found bug related with this behavior. Steps to fix them:
Open [dbo].[proc_Profile_SetSearchUserTerms] procedure
Check @changedValues declaration (varchar)
Alter procedure with
DECLARE @changedValues TABLE (PropertyValue nvarchar(255), Direction int)
Be happy.

This can occur if there is clock skew between SQL Server and the Web Front End.
In our case the time on the WFE was being set by a DC with the correct time, the time on the database server was being set by another domain controller with a -3 minute difference.
