[OzMOSS] Custom Employee directory...thoughts?

[Aaron Saikovski]

Dear All,

Has anyone explored or even developed their own custom employee directory. I am 
looking at one that integrates with user profiles and uses Active Directory?

We have a client that has a custom written Employee directory and  I wanted to 
hear about others experience in this area (if any)

 

What traps and tricks did you come across?

 

Cheers,

Aaron

[OzMOSS] Timer Tasks not running

[Prior, David]

Hi,
 
I'm experiencing some very slow executions of Timer Tasks that are created by 
MOSS during the initial configuration of the farm and the starting of services. 
 These are not custom tasks.
 
On one farm they run within a minute, but on the other farm they seem to take 
anywhere from an hour to lots longer (I left it running overnight and the task 
still hasn't run). They are all scheduled as "One-time" tasks.  I can see in 
the Timer definitions that things are running, it's just not picking up the 
"one-time" tasks.
 
Is there a way to "kick off" the tasks. This is holding up my efforts for 
configuring the farm and getting everything running since I have to wait for 
the tasks to run before I can complete the next stage.
 
My topology is all 64bit hardware running Win 2003 server and SQL 2005.
 
1 x Index Server
2 x WFE (Query)
2 x SQL (clustered)
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
David

Have you tried
stsadm -o  execadmsvcjobs.
This should force the tasks to run.

RE: [OzMOSS] Timer Tasks not running

[STRINGFELLOW Mike (Con)]

I use STSADM -o execadmsvcjobs to process my time jobs (solution
deployment in my case) immediately - not sure if that will help in your
case. Is your owstimer service running ok with the correct account etc?

All,
 
Thanks for the help. 
 
My service account is running with the correct account settings.
 
I hadn't used the STSADM command with the execadmsvcjobs argument before so 
I'll give that a whirl.

You can force the timer jobs to run on an individual server in a MOSS farm

Re: [OzMOSS] Timer Tasks not running

[Jeremy Thake]

We have a similar problem where we run execadmsvcjobs and it doesn't list
any jobs as being run e.g.
"Excuting .
Operation completed successfully."

But if I go into Central Administration | Operations | Solution Management,
it states that there is a solution on status of 'Deploying(scheduled at
3/13/2008 11:06 AM )'. Which is obviously in the past.

Going to Central Administration | Operations | Timer Job Definitions, there
is a Job in there called 'Windows SharePoint Services Solution Deployment
for '.wsp'' and viewing that job definition states that last
run time was 'N/A'.

This may be different server farm jobs, but sounds like a similar issue.
Overnight, these jobs seem to clear and the status of the Solution goes to
deployed. Is there a way to kick start that?

RE: [OzMOSS] Timer Tasks not running

[Prior, David]

I just tried the STSADM command and it came up with:
 
Executing job.antivirus.
Executing .
Command completed successfully
 
The anti virus command is not the job I was expecting to see. If I rerun the 
command the exact same statements occurand my job still does not start.
 
I am now trying to do a MOSS Backup and it won't kick off either.
 
Cheers,
