Got the error Start-SPProfileServiceFullReplication : Can not access Destination web service whilst performing one way User Profile Replication between two SharePoint 2013 farm's for About Me and PictureURL properties This worked beautifully whilst performing the Replication on Pre-Prod Farm but not on Prod farms
Did check various bits and pieces for permissions for the farm account as listed on various blogs but was of not much help.
Performed the following steps to resolve this
Launch SharePoint 2013 Management Shell
Changed the Directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit\Replication Engine
Added the PS Snap in
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Office.Server.AdministrationToolkit.ReplicationEngine
Tried the command
Start-SPProfileServiceFullReplication -Destination https://mydestination.contoso.com -Source http://mysource.contotos.com -EnableInstrumentation -MaxNumberOfThreads 15 -Properties "AboutMe", "PictureURL" -DoSocialReplication
Didn't work, tried accessing the My Site from the server that didn't load even though loop back was disabled.
Was able to access My Site User Profile Service from an end user machine which indicated there was no issue the web service as it was accessible.
Found that the Proxy Server in Internet Explorer Connection Settings was enabled and set to the proxy server on the Front End server from where I was running the command.
Disabled the Proxy in IE, executed the command again boom replication started and was successful.
At times there are some specific settings which cause the issue. Another day another dollar.
