Resolution:-
1. Make sure you are logged into the Server as the UPA Service account.
2. Run RSOP information for account specifically for 'Allow Logon Locally' and 'Deny Logon Locally' GPO.
3. If the User Account is part of any AD group and that Group is added to the "Deny Logon Locally" policy, the UPA Sync service will NOT start.
4. The Service account has to be specifically be part of the "Allow Logon Locally" GPO.
