Stopped-extension-dll-exceptions in User Profile Sync
Symptons: You get stopped-extension-dll-exceptions in MIIS client while running full or incremental user profile sync.
At the same time you will get following exceptions in Application log:
Fix: This problem arises from user profiles that have URL in PictureURL field, but the picture is not accessible. You can fix this issue by running the following PS script. The script loops through every user profile and makes a HTTP request to the picture URL. If the URL cannot be accessed the script clears PictureURL field.
# Get user profile service
$UserProfileService = @(Get-SPServiceApplication | ? { $_.TypeName -eq "User Profile Service Application" })[0]
if($UserProfileService)
{
$serviceContext = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($UserProfileService.ServiceApplicationProxyGroup, [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSiteSubscriptionIdentifier]::Default);
$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($serviceContext)
# Get all profiles
$allProfiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator();
$counter = 0;
$decCounter = 0;
# Loop through every profile
foreach($profile in $allProfiles)
{
$counter++;
$decCounter++;
$url = $Profile['PictureURL'] -as [string];
if($url)
{
# Create HTTP Request
$req = [system.Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
$req.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
try {
$res = $req.GetResponse()
}
catch [System.Net.WebException] {
$res = $_.Exception.Response
}
$int = [int]$res.StatusCode
$status = $res.StatusCode
# If the image cannot be accessed clear the field
if($int -gt 400)
{
Write-Host -NoNewLine $Profile['PreferredName'] "profile picture broken "
$Profile['PictureURL'].Value = $null;
$Profile.Commit();
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "[FIXED]";
}
}
if($deccounter -eq 10)
{
Write-Host $counter" user profile checked";
$decCounter=0;
}
}
}
$UserProfileService = @(Get-SPServiceApplication | ? { $_.TypeName -eq "User Profile Service Application" })[0]
if($UserProfileService)
{
$serviceContext = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($UserProfileService.ServiceApplicationProxyGroup, [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSiteSubscriptionIdentifier]::Default);
$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($serviceContext)
# Get all profiles
$allProfiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator();
$counter = 0;
$decCounter = 0;
# Loop through every profile
foreach($profile in $allProfiles)
{
$counter++;
$decCounter++;
$url = $Profile['PictureURL'] -as [string];
if($url)
{
# Create HTTP Request
$req = [system.Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
$req.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
try {
$res = $req.GetResponse()
}
catch [System.Net.WebException] {
$res = $_.Exception.Response
}
$int = [int]$res.StatusCode
$status = $res.StatusCode
# If the image cannot be accessed clear the field
if($int -gt 400)
{
Write-Host -NoNewLine $Profile['PreferredName'] "profile picture broken "
$Profile['PictureURL'].Value = $null;
$Profile.Commit();
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "[FIXED]";
}
}
if($deccounter -eq 10)
{
Write-Host $counter" user profile checked";
$decCounter=0;
}
}
}
After running this script the User Profile Sync started to work immediately.

Thanks for posting this. I was receiving “More than one DN specified for the same profile” exceptions, and this (though not seemingly related) resolved it.
Seems to be fixing my pictures , reporting every 10 checked, but occasionally throwing this error. SP 2010 farm.
Exception setting “UseDefaultCredentials”: “This property is not supported by this class.”
Any insight?
Thanks, this worked for me.
Thanx very mutch for this helpful hint and the description to figure out and fixing this problem !
Everything is very open with a very clear description of the issues.
It was truly informative. Your website is useful.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
Trying to amend your script to output to a file so that I do not commit any changes until I know how many profiles have the issue but not having any luck. Can you please let me know what I would need to amend to output to a file ?
Thanks
Yup, you are exactly Google namely the best for blogging, Google weblog too come fast within quest engines too.
The Script fixed my error in the FIM, but i am still not getting my pictures to load from AD. They have copied to SP in a library, but are not showing in the People Directory. How do I fix that?

Love the website– extremely user friendly and lots to see!|
Ran it with SharePoint 2010 Management Shell (Admin), and it worked like a charm! Thanks!
still same error… please help
Hi,
Easiest way o solve this problem is you could delete the synchronization connection, and recreate another. But before doing so take note of all managed properties because this will be deleted as well.
The thing is that i do not want the existing pictures to be deleted. Also, this keeps happening when someone uploads new picture and there is already picture in the AD. Is there any solution to update without error and keep all images as well?
