INTRODUCTION

When I tried to run the profile sync (i.e. Run Full Synchronisation) it didn’t run at all. The status was always in IDLE. I tried to refresh the page and the status didn’t change.

In Event Viewer I get the following errors:

==

FIRST ERROR

BAIL: MMS(1952): server.cpp(1838): 0x80070005 (Access is denied.)

SECOND ERROR

Generic Failure

==

In SP log I also get the Generic Failure error.

RESOLUTION

The resolution to this issue is by doing the following:

– Restart SharePoint Timer Service

– Restart Forefront Identity Synchronization Service

– Restart Forefront Identity Manager Service

Rerun the full synch and it seems working.

Hope this helps,
