Just tried the user profile service in SharePoint 2010, this is the basic to build the my site as community site. Here is the complete guide to setup all the farm account and permissions. In my dev environment, everything is installed in the same virtual machine, basically the first and the most important step is to start the User Profile Synchronization Service, which is in stopped state by default installation.
Go to Central Admin -> system settings -> Managed Service on Server,
The User Profile synchronizaiton service should be disabled, click on start to start the service. And it will provision FIM services and after a long time wait (5-10mins), you will be able to use configure synchronization connections to configure AD connection and start importing user profiles.
Hopefully later on we can continue to see how the UPS and the new community site in SharePoint 2013.
In 2013, there is another ADImport mode which only imports from active directory. You can switch between Adimport mode and UPS synchronization mode. Also you don't need the User profile synchronization service to manage the synchronization. It is moved to user profile service.
