Go to Central Admin, and Central Administration, (It is recommended to do this in the server that you installed SharePoint, however I was unable to when doing so, so I went to my local machine.

Start the service User Profile Services

The rest I got from the link from above

Keep refreshing until it disappears and then you’ll notice it’ll disappear. Click on "Job History" on left hand side, you should see the job with status of Successful.

You should now see a connection in this list.

Go back to "User Profile Service Application" page from "Manage Service Applications"
clip_image036
Click "Start Profile Synchronization"
clip_image038
Select "Start Full Synchronization" then click "OK".

In Beta 2 it is normal to see these warning errors in the Event Log.

Also note that you cannot edit the connections because of a JavaScript error.

For more information on the User Profile imports go to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell\ and run MSIISClient.exe

If you get this error:
"Cannot navigate to the requested page while User Profile Synchronization is running. Please wait for the current Sychronization run to finish."
You will need to restart the machine (you can most likely just restart the services too)
