Are you sitting down to configure the User Profile Service in SharePoint Server 2010? Of course you've read all the TechNet articles, but have you read these blog posts? You simply must (and then distill them down to get the proper steps for what you're trying to do - e.g Greg's steps are better suited for a demo enviro than with all the gritty details a real-world farm might entail).
Huge props to all the people who shared the info on these blogs as they sure kept my forehead from getting even more flat.

And just in case you can't launch the Management page for your shiny, newly set up UPS service application:

Oh, and now I'm having a problem with the FIM Service not starting after a reboot. This in turn (allegedly) is what caused my nightly incremental sync to fail...at least according to http://blogs.c5insight.com/Home/tabid/40/entryid/185/Resolve-an-TCP-10061-Error-with-the-SharePoint-2010-User-Profile-Service.aspx
So even though I'm not running an aliased SQL server for this latest farm, I'm trying the DTC "Allow Network Connections" mod as mentioned in this article (worthy for adding to the first two to make sure you have a good mix for your "distillation.")

I'll let you know what happens after some more reboot tests.....
