Sharepoint 2010 Profile Sync Stuck On “Starting”

I had an issue with my Profile Synchronization service.  After a server reboot it wouldn’t start again.
What I did to fix it was:

• Stop the User Profile Service and the User Profile Synchronization Service from the Central Administration Page
• If it is stuck on starting, you need to use the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell / Powershell to stop it
  
  PowerShell

  Get-SpServiceInstance

  1	Get-SpServiceInstance

  
  Now copy the GUID from the “User Profile Synchronization Service”
  
  PowerShell

  Stop-SpServiceinstance <GUID>

  1	Stop-SpServiceinstance <GUID>

  
  You also need to delete any Setup Jobs still running
  
  PowerShell

  $timerjob = Get-SPTimerJob | where {$_.Name -eq "ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob"} $timerjob.Delete()

  1 2	$timerjob = Get-SPTimerJob | where {$_.Name -eq "ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob"} $timerjob.Delete()

• Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Manage Service Applications and delete “User Profile Service Application”
• Recreated the “User Profile Service Application”
• Delete all the FIM Certificates in the MMC->Computer->Personal and MMC->Computer->Enterprise certificate stores
• Perform an IISReset
• Restart the User Profile Service and the User Profile Synchronization Service, they should now start cleanly
