SPTimerService (SPTimerV4) Failing on SP Server 2019

Question

Seeking advice on how to fix the failing SPTimerService (SPTimerV4) status on SP Server 2019 on-prim.

Answer 1

Hi @Tevon2.0 ,

Please try to use this PowerShell script. The script detects timer service instances in the farm that are not online and attempts to bring them online. After running the script, manually restart the SPTimerV4 Windows Service on each server that is identified to have the problem.

$farm = Get-SPFarm  
$disabledTimers = $farm.TimerService.Instances | where {$_.Status -ne "Online"}  
if ($disabledTimers -ne $null)  
{  
foreach ($timer in $disabledTimers)  
{  
Write-Host "Timer service instance on server " $timer.Server.Name " is not Online. Current status:" $timer.Status  
Write-Host "Attempting to set the status of the service instance to online"  
$timer.Status = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPObjectStatus]::Online  
$timer.Update()  
}  
}  
else  
{  
Write-Host "All Timer Service Instances in the farm are online! No problems found"  
}

@Tevon2.0 Do you have multiple SharePoint servers on your farm?

From the message on the image that you provided, upgrade is required on server SRV-SHAREPOINT, please make sure you install all same required patches on the problematic server SRV-SHAREPOINT with other SharePoint servers, then run PSConfigUI.exe to perform the upgrade.

Here's a ps1 cmd to check the status of SPTimerV4 for each SPFarm server:

Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='SPTimerV4'" | Select-Object Name, Status, State 

or a quick overview of SPTimerV4 status across all servers in the SharePoint farm.

$farm = Get-SPFarm
$farm.TimerService.Instances | ForEach-Object { 
  Write-Host "Server $($.Server.Name): Status=$($.Status)"
}
