Hi guys, quick question.
The account used for AD Import in UPA, does he need to bee a member of the users group in AD?
I have an account that is in the service group in AD, a service account with replicate direcotry permission, but when i enter the account and pass and press to populate container i get invalid credentials. I know that the credentials are correct.
When I enter one of the SP users insted i can populate the container but the sync will not performe, because the users does not have replicate directory permission.
So, why cant i recognize a AD service account?
Hello,
The user does not need to be SharePoint user. It needs to be domain user.

Does your NETBIOS is different from your fully-qualified domain name ? If it so you´ll need to run the following command as well.
$upsa = Get-SPServiceApplication –Id /span>GUID of User Profile Service Application> $upsa.NetBIOSDomainNamesEnabled. =$true.
That really needs to be done before the creation of connection with AD.
Good luck
