Windows Azure Directory Sync Generic Failure












2














Ok so I have a domain that I want to sync to Office365 but when I start the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool Configuration Wizard I get an error with the following details:



System.Management.ManagementException: Generic failure 
at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)
at System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumerator.MoveNext()
at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Common.MiisAction.GetTargetMA()
at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Common.MiisAction.IsSyncInProgress()
at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Common.PrerequisiteChecks.ThrowIfSyncInProgress()
at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.UI.IntroductionWizardPage.PrerequisiteValidation()
at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.UI.IntroductionWizardPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)


I have searched far and wide to no avail, this happens before I can even enter any details.



A few notes:




  1. The server is not the domain controller

  2. Sharepoint 2013 is installed on this server

  3. The account I log in with and run the application with is a domain
    and enterprise admin

  4. I right click and run as administrator when I start the application


So when I click continue on the error and go through the steps I get two possible scenarios that change from time to time at now predictable rate:



1) I just get an error, generic failure.



2) I get an error "Cannot start service MSOnlineSyncScheduler on computer '.'."



Any help?
