Error when creating a new User Profile Connection to Active Directory

I’ve been trying to create a new User Profile Connection to Active Directory for User Profile Synchronisation but it keeps failing with the following error message:

Error: No dsml attribute matching mvAttribute value

Add_New_Synchronization_Connection_Error

I’ve tried to troubleshoot this by restarting the User Profile Service Application, restarting the ForeFront Identity Manager and ForeFront Identity Manager Synchronization Service services.  Upon doing so I noted the following error appearing in the Windows Application Event Log:

EventID_22_MRMS_Error

With basic SQL troubleshooting I was able to determine that the services were started and I could log in to SQL Management Studio to see the databases.  There were no SQL specific errors in the event log so I decided it probably wasn’t an SQL issue.

After looking through the SharePoint logs, and turning up nothing useful, I decided to remove and recreate the connection – this time it worked perfectly.  I haven’t managed to figure out what went wrong first time.
