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?

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 ?

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?

How to Use Google Chrome Like a Pro
Are you still using Internet Explorer? Wow I sure hope not.
But if you are, take time today to remodel your web browsing experience and skills by installing Google Chrome.
Chrome will be the fastest as well as internet browser on earth (within my humble opinion).
There are just actions with Chrome that you just no longer can do with some other internet browser.
In this article I will focus on the way you
use Google Chrome by leveraging Chrome shortcuts and also the Google Chrome Webstore.
Leveraging keyboard shortcuts is among the most 1 activity you’re able to do in order to save time using the Internet.
Most people rarely use Chrome shortcuts. Think about this, each time you grab the mouse you lose a few seconds.
Over time if you add those seconds up over several years that happens to be lots of
time. I not acquiring in to the fine specifics of specific shortcuts.
Just Google “Chrome shortcuts” and learn them. Print off of the Chrome shortcuts cheat sheet and hang
up it over your desk. Learn to love Google Chrome keyboard shortcuts and
I promise you will improve your productivity.
Have you been aware of the Google Chrome Webstore?
The Chrome Webstore is basically an app store to your browser!
What is awesome about Chrome is that you can add apps into it to improve and customize your web store browser.
Sometimes these Chrome apps can also be known as extensions.
For example you can contribute basic apps like Facebook and YouTube then when you open up a brand new tab (using keyboard shortcuts of
course) you will find there’s Windows-like web browsing interface.
Think of them like huge bookmarks which you can access instantly every time you
open a brand new tab.
More advanced Google Chrome Webstore extensions can be hugely valuable too.
I love SEO for Chrome by . This extension allows me to ascertain site traffic,
amount of Facebook likes, and quantity of links
for ANY of my competitors or potential partners. Another great extension is the
Google Mail Checker. This extension allows me to add a
smaller icon to my browser that alerts me each time I get a message.
With one easy click I can immediately head to my Gmail.
AddThis is a terrific marketing app on the Chrome Webstore.
It allows you to share any link through literally any network instantly.
You can get a new extension to ensure that with one click you’ll be able to
share interesting sites or content. You can share links
on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for example.
The list of options and networks that AddThis supports is massive so check
it and personalize it for yourself.
The number of hours an average joe spends online is growing in an exponential
rate. Everyone irrespective of their profession needs to enhance their web
browsing skills and knowledge. The great thing about shortcuts along with the webstore is that now you may immediately increase their skills and experience by
learning them. I feel the simplest way to learn is through video and has a great course on Google Chrome it is possible to check out
if you want step-by-step training and instruction. Take some time through your busy day and dedicate yourself to learning the shortcuts
and leveraging the apps Google Chrome provides.
