User Profile Import Stuck
A client had an issue today with user profile imports being “stuck”. In one instance (the production instance) the profile import was stuck actually performing the import, in the non-production instance it was stuck on “Enumerating”. Found a great article by Henrik Andersson to fix the issue. Here is what he posted as the fix:
Open the registry editor.
Browse to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice Server12.0SearchApplications”.
Here you will find a key for each SSP in the farm. Drill down to "GatherProfileImportContentSources " (which is the Full Import) and check the key “CrawlNumberInProgress”. If it´s not “0xffffffff” then the number displayed corresponds to a key under the branch “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice Server12.0SearchApplicationsGatherProfileImportCrawls”.
I changed the number in the key “CrawlNumberInProgress” to “0xffffffff” and then restarted the “Office SharePoint Server Search” service for the settings to be applied.
