Duarte's SharePoint info

If you would like to delete Sharepoint Timer Job Definitions follow these steps:

1.  Go to Central Administration > Operations

2.  Click on Timer Job Definitions

3.  In this page go to the job that you wish to delete

4.  Copy the GUID shown in the URL field of the browser (something like below:

    http://centraladmin.company.com/_admin/JobEdit.aspx?JobId=99346da8%2D1cba%2D4691%2D8c18%2D4e257650aa72

5. Copy to NotePad and replace the %2D characters by a dash "-"

5.  Then go stsadm and run the following command:

     stsadm.exe -o deleteconfigurationobject -id <ObjectGUID>

The command stsadm.exe -o deletessptimerjob  is for deleting Shared Services timer jobs. Which rarely is needed...

Good luck!

This issue can happen for many reasons:

1. The Email server is down, or the server is not allowing your SharePoint server to send emails. Check each SharePoint Server in the farm individually.

2. Check if your Windows SharePoint Services Timer service is running. To start it go to my article: http://blogs.tamtam.nl/duarte/2008/12/19/SharePoint2007TimerJobsNotWorking.aspx

If these don't help, let me know what was your problem & solution in the comments below! :)

In SharePoint 2007 the inactive user profiles are deleted by a timer job called “My Site Cleanup Job” (Central Administration > Operations > TimerJobs Definitions > My Site Cleanup Job").

It is NOT after the third consecutive failed import that the automatic profile deletion happens.

So if your profiles are still appearing after import check the following:

1. Is your LDAP filter importing disable profiles?

    The LDAP filter must be something like to avoid importing disabled profiles:

    (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)( !(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))

    check this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827754

2. Is your "My Site Cleanup" timer job enable? (see above)

   Central Administration > Operations > TimerJobs Definitions > My Site Cleanup Job").

   Enable it!

3. Is "Windows SharePoint Services Timer " service running?

   Administrative Tools > Services > Windows SharePoint Services Timer  

   Start it!
