New Strange Error (All profiles failed to update)
UPDATE 06/12/2008: A possible cause of this issue could be that the user has set an invalid URL for their profile picture. We had a user set their profile picture to point to a web page that contained their picture instead of the picture itself. The error message states something about the URL containing invalid data. After changing this to a correct URL the problem seemed to go away.
A few days ago we started experiencing seeing a new error message appearing in the event logs on our SharePoint servers. At the same time we noticed that some membership groups were not being updated. The error message in the event log was:
1: Event Type: Error

I tried the STSADM -O SYNC commands and nothing seemed to clear up the problem. I started looking through the SharePoint logs and came across the following entry (yes — I know it is not pretty to read):

The only line that really caught my eye was the one that listed a URL, one of my users, and a blank GUID. We landed up simply deleting the specified user from the site collection that was reported in the logs and then everything started flowing again. We added the user back and everything is still working as expected. I am still not sure what caused this problem and why it was specific to this user but everything is up and running again.
