User Profile Synchronization Service Hangs on Starting (SharePoint 2013)

I was recently setting up User Profile Sync Service in SharePoint 2013 and of course, I was faced with the hung on starting issue.

In the past I've used Bill Daugherty's excellent post on resolving the hanging issue for SharePoint 2010, so I figured I'd give it a try for 2013, and it worked!

Thanks Bill!

  1. In my case, the problem was: The account I logged-in to configure User Profile Sync was not a Farm Administrator account!

    I followed the troubleshooting guide, which lists all possible causes and solutions at: User Profile Synchronization Service Stuck at "Starting" - Solution
