Starting this service is an art within itself - I have done various installs and never got it right first time - here are the key points I have found either from experience or other consultants..
- Although it goes against security - when you start the service ensure the farm account is Local Admin and you login as this account to start the 2 services - User Profile Service and User Profile Sync Service - this will not work otherwise !!!
- If you find the User Profile Sync Service is just showing a continuous status of "Starting" - give it at least 30 mins - I have seen this on a Dev box - if this still shows - restart the server and ensure you login as the farm account (Point 1 above)
- Always double check the Group Policy and permissions in Active Directory - especially when you get a bit further and try and import users you need to add the "Replication Directory Changes Permission" to the service account you are using to pull in users
The guide I always use to get this going is Spencer Harbars guide which is excellent - http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
