AD Connector will not work

Hi all! I have an AD connector that was working fine, but I imported some MPs from an old environment and now it's not functioning. If I tell it to sync, it acts like it will, but never does. I checked the Run As accounts and sure enough, the account that handled it got changed to Local System. I changed that back to what it should be, and went back in the connector and made sure it was there too, and tested the connection successfully, but still no dice when it tries to run. The only thing I haven't tried is blowing away the connector. There's nothing in Event Viewer showing any errors for this either that I can tell. Anywhere else I can check?

Warning - do not delete the connector before you have created and sync the new one!
Disable the old one and create a new one. Make sure it has synced successfully before you eventually delete the old disabled one 🙂

Check your "Operations Manager" Event Logs and see what it reports when you click the syn now option.
Other item worth checking here is running System processes. In the case of the workflow server, I believe it's the Health Service that creates 3 new processes of MonitoringHost.exe. In either case, you should expect to find 3 of these running.
I'm partial to SysInternals Process Explorer in this case as you can see processes spin up (light up green) or prepare to stop (light up red). If you don't see these, it would lead me to believe there is a permissions issue or something environmental occurring preventing their respective startup. Without them, manually kicking off connectors, scheduled connector times, and workflows - will not run.
Thanks everyone, I followed Mikkel's advice, and I got a successful sync. Odd, but I'll take it, and I'll remember it for future issues. Adam, Process Explorer is amazing. I'm keeping an eye on things on my dev and prod workflow servers with it. Thanks!
