Sharepoint 2010- Unable to activate User profile Sync service

Hi,
I managed to install User profile Sync service application  however, when i tried to start user profile sync service, it is stuck at starting.  I tried to completely remove and recreate it but ended up in the same problem.  I have gone through many forums but could not get it working.
Happy to forward the logs by message.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Greg's plan sound like a great way to solve your problem. If you need additional help however, use the Harbar link, it's good.

Good luck...

Hi Greg and Walter,  
Thanks for your assistance.
Let me try the above solutions and will get back to you.
Thanks
Did you ever get this to work?
By the way if you are using a powershell script to provision User Profile services, you will definitely want to be logged in as the Farm account (or else impersonate that identity within PowerShell). This is because the person running the script becomes the database schema owner, and it won't work correctly if the Farm account doesn't have owner access to the schema. The same thing generally applies to other service apps.
Hi Greg and Walter,

I have not had a chance to work on this week.  I'm planning to work on this next week and will keep you updated. Thanks.
May be a good idea to close this ticket so it does not become neglected. When you are ready start a fresh question with updated findings and conditions.

Thanks
