SharePoint 2010 ILM Synchronization Manager Issue

SharePoint 2010 RC has some noticeable changes mostly in performance and setup. One good piece of news is that if you setup your profile import incorrectly the first time you can usually go back and fix it without having to rebuild your server/farm. The error logging has become a great deal more effective so tracking down issues is a lot easier.
One snafu I noticed in RC over Beta 2 is an issue with the ILM Synchronization Manager (the new profile import in SharePoint). I was able to get the service setup in SharePoint alright but when I did the actual import nothing was coming through. I ended up opening the Synchronization Manager (C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office Servers14.0Synchronization ServiceUIShellmiisclient.exe) to review my directory settings under the Management Agents control. Under the Management Agents open the Properties of directory import (MOSSAD-[Domain Name]). Click on Connect to AD Forest and ensure these settings are correct. Mine didn’t have the correct forest or domain in them.

Check your Directory Partitions as well (those were correct in mine) to make sure they are setup correctly. Once you have updated this information click on OK and close the Synchronization Manager, do not kick off a new search from this utility. Go back to Central Admin and try to search you directory there. It should populate your directory after a few minutes.
