Issue

Trying to reset the SharePoint UPS sync database, I had the following error message:

PS C:> $upa.ResetSynchronizationDatabase()
 Exception calling "ResetSynchronizationDatabase" with "0" argument(s):
 "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."
 At line:1 char:1
 + $upa.ResetSynchronizationDatabase()
 + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
 + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException

Resolution

Database was in mirror, and i had the following event on the SharePoint box:

event_5586

You need to first remove mirroring session and try again.
