Error - "MOSS MA not found”

Yesterday I got his error "MOSS MA not found”  while creating the connector for User Profile synchronization in SharePoint 2010.

To fix that -

I restarted the Forefront Identity Manager Service and the Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service.

To find those services

Run > Services.msc > Forefront Services > right click and select restart. 

If services do not start, You may need to enter service account/password on Logon Tab of service properties screen.

Hope this help!
