SharePoint Forefront Service not starting

Question

We had an IT Manager leave the company and had to change the services account Logon for the FIMSynchronizationService and FIMService.

After the change of passwords for the two aforementioned services they don't start. Where else do I need to update the password so that these services start?

Hi @Jackie Butler II ,

1. Check that the accounts passwords of the Forefront Identity Manager Service, Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service and User Profile Synchronization Service are consistent.
   step to Forefront Identity Manager Service, Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service: Windows services->Forefront Identity Manager Service, Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service->right click->properties->Log on->change password
   
   step to User Profile Synchronization Service : central administration->configure service account->save
   
2. You can also stop and start FIMSynchronizationService and FIMService using powershell.
