    I have tested below condition and everything in right place but still I am not able to start the services

    1. You must run the UPA Service Instance as the Farm Account.
    2. Farm Account must be a local administrator of the machine running the UPA Service Instance during provisioning only.
    3. Farm Account must have Log on Locally rights.
    4. The Synchronization Connection Account must have Replicating Directory Changes..
    5. Sharepoint webservices application pool  started  in IIS.

    During the start process it get this error.

    UserProfileApplication.SynchronizeMIIS: Begin setup for 'Hamra User Profile Service'.
    ILM Configuration: Configuring database
    UserProfileApplication.SynchronizeMIIS: Failed to configure MIIS post database, will attempt during next rerun. Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.    
     at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.Synchronization.ILMPostSetupConfiguration.ConfigureMiisStage2()    
     at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplication.SetupSynchronizationService(ProfileSynchronizationServiceInstance profileSyncInstance).
    UserProfileApplication.SynchronizeMIIS: End setup for 'Hamra User Profile Service'.

    After it fails i get this error

    User Profile Application: SynchronizeMIIS encounters an exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    
     at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileImportJob.<>c__DisplayClass2.<IsTimerJobRunning>b__1()

    I fixed it finally.

    The issue is that UPS does not like Powershell profiles.

    So to fix it I 

    1. Moved the Profile file in the powershell folder to a new folder
    2. deleted cache
    3. un-prevision the DB's
    4. Reran the script and finally it started.

    It looks like the User Profile Import Job (timer job) may be missing.  Can you delete and recreate the Service Application?

    Can you try to do the same troubleshooting as this person did?

    It looks like he ran process monitor and was able to look at SQL communication...

    I think Netmon and Wireshark can also view SQL communication

    I have the same issue.  Have recreated the UPS app on the same app pool, this did not fix it.

    have made the farm account a local admin, still no joy.

    mmm... coffee...

    All of the PowerShell related items are located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\.

    After literary hours of research and testing, this finally resolved the issue. I would have never guessed that a PowerShell profile would cause such an issue with SharePoint.

    Thank You

    Open Sharepoint Management shell and see if you get this message on top:

    Method 'Upgrade' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceA

    pplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=1

    5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an impl

    ementation.

    If yes, Apply this fix:

    Reboot just to make sure and After your User Profile Synchronization Service will start.

    thanks,

    JC

    Thanks for sharing JC.

    This hotfix worked for us at a customers acceptance environment where we had the same issue with the SharePoint Management shell.
