Error while creating UPSA Synchronization connection in SharePoint 2013

  • Article

Yesterday i was building my SharePoint 2013 Lab for learning purpose, things were working smooth until i step on creating User Profile Synchronization connection.

I was able to populate the containers, but when i say Save / OK it gave me the below error

  "There was no endpoint listening at https://localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService/MEX that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action."  

Tried creating a new UPSA, this time it gave me an error UPSA Sync Services is not started.

Quickly navigated back to Service on Server and found it to be running.

Gave a shot by stopping and starting the services, there you go... it worked like a charm.
