My event log is filled with errors with event ID 3. I am running a SharePoint 2010 farm with one front-end server and a dedicated database server.

The events look something like this:

Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service: System.Data.DataException: This request has an invalid target: A202675A-DBE1-40F5-8844-2E620195ECA1. The invalid target identifier is FB89AEFA-5EA1-47F1-8890-ABE7797D6497.

at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices.ResourceManagementService.Put(Message request)

There is a post from another guy with the same error on the MS forums here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/sharepoint2010setup/thread/2bd3b32d-b56d-4a87-b29f-e3f2784a3b12

The errors correspond with the timer job User Profile Service Application - System Job to Manage user Profile Synchronization, which runs every minute. Despite descriptions, I tried extending the running time to every 5 minutes instead and the error now appears every 5th minute instead of every minute.

Some background: I have had issues with the User Profile Service and had to restart it a couple of times. However, I don't know what the cause of this is. I fear that the target identifier is pointing at a wrong / old GUID for a User Profile Service Application, but is there any way to change this?

Has anyone had similar problems and have an idea how to solve it?

You might need to recreate the UPA. See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2432041

Also, what CU are you on?
