  Hi,

  The Incremental Sync is triggered by TimerJob "User Profile Service Application - User Profile Incremental Synchronization". You can see it yourself when you to "Configure Synchronization Timer Job".

  You can set the time to run there. Or you can set up a scheduled task to run a script that will start the job.

  Get-SPTimerJob | Where {$_.DisplayName -eq "User Profile Service Application - User Profile Incr
  emental Synchronization"} | Start-SPTimerJob

  With this command is executed Full Sync.

  Get-SPTimerJob | Where {$_.DisplayName -eq "User Profile Service Application - User Profile Incr
  emental Synchronization"} | Start-SPTimerJob

  I'm need execute Incremental Sync.

  I could run this command?

  Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
  $UPS= Get-SPServiceApplication | where { $_.DisplayName -eq “User Profile Service Application”}
  $UPS.StartImport($true)

  Thanks

  You would want to use $UPS.StartImport($false) - $true is Full Sync, $false is Incremental Sync.

  Hi,

  Thanks for your replay Trevor as always it is right in the spot!

  However If you start the "User Profile Service Application - User Profile Incremental Synchronization" manually, normally it should  start DELTASYNC for all connection that are finished in success last time.

  Is this correct? Is there a difference if we run the StartImport method on the UPSA?

  BR,

  Ivan

  Yes, incremental uses the Delta steps. The StartImport just runs the timer job.

  Thanks Trevor,

  Finally created the task scheduled with this command:

  Sync Incremental

  Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
  $UPS= Get-SPServiceApplication | where { $_.DisplayName -eq “User Profile Service Application”}
  $UPS.StartImport($false)

  And, create another task scheduler for Full Synchronization with this command:

  Sync FULL

  Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
  $UPS= Get-SPServiceApplication | where { $_.DisplayName -eq “User Profile Service Application”}
  $UPS.StartImport($true)

  Thanks...
