AD Connector Service fails after Update to 4.4

I had an UCS Server previously running version 4.3 as part of a Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

After updating to 4.4 the connector-service stopped and can’t be started again. What could be causing this? Are the any particular logfiles I should check?

I found the following error in connector-status.log

try to sync 45 changes from UCS
