I had some code that set the AssociatedMembersGroup in SharePoint using the Client Object Model. For whatever reason (possibly a CU recently installed), the code below no longer works:

ClientContext lClientContext = new ClientContext(vSiteURL);
lClientContext.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Utils.APP_USERNAME, Utils.APP_PASSWORD, Utils.APP_DOMAIN);
Web lWeb = lClientContext.Web;

lClientContext.Load(lWeb, website => website.AssociatedMemberGroup, website => website.SiteGroups);
lClientContext.ExecuteQuery();

foreach (Group lGroup in lWeb.SiteGroups)
{
if (lGroup.Title == vGroupName)
{
lWeb.AssociatedMemberGroup = lGroup;
lWeb.Update();
lClientContext.ExecuteQuery();
break;
}
}

I had to change to doing this inside my create group method:

 ClientContext lClientContext = new ClientContext(vSiteURL);
lClientContext.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Utils.APP_USERNAME, Utils.APP_PASSWORD, Utils.APP_DOMAIN);
Web lWeb = lClientContext.Web;

GroupCreationInformation lGroupDef = new GroupCreationInformation();
lGroupDef.Title

Our SharePoint database server ran out of disk space. In addition to causing the obvious problems, we were also seeing this message in the SharePoint front end server logs:

Failure trying to synch web application ddbd3051-0aa4-4db5-8197-e450a718dede, ContentDB 7393dd21-a0fe-42f6-8d6b-b87c8ce31496 Exception message was System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Lock request time out period exceeded.

Turns out that the cache was out of sync, which was resolved by following this kb article:

Had one user of our SharePoint intranet unable to access the Edit Page (or indeed any other Ribbon toolbar buttons). The button was there and available but clicking it had no effect.

Turns out there is an issue with DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 add-on for IE because it interferes with JSON call-backs – which I gather the Ribbon bar is using.

Disabled the Add-on and ribbon menus are working again.…
