Symptom:I had a solution that was
stuck in the deploying state. When I looked at it, it had only deployed
successfully on one the the front ends. To solve the problem, I ran stsadm
execadmjobs. I have done this multiple times in 2010, but this time I got this
message:
The administration service is running so all administration jobs
will be run in the timer service.
Problem:The timer
service is set to take care of all admin tasks, so it is telling you that the
jobs will run when the timer service is good and ready to kick them off, but
until then, just sit on your hands and
wait.
Solution:Stop the admin service, then run the
command to execute the admin jobs, then turn back on the admin service. These
are the three powershell commands to do this:
- net stop SPAdminV4
- Start-SPAdminJob
- net start SPAdminV4
The first command shuts off the admin service.
The second command is the powershell equivalent to stsadm execadmjobs and the
third one turns back on the admin service.
