I have ran in to kind of strange issue today with my SharePoint 2013 Farm. I have one PowerShell Script( Runs in App server) to add items to a list. Suddenly this script is taking very long time to go to next line after it call $item.update()
But the same time If I run the same script on my front end server, it works as expected with out any delay.
Please help
Hello @sns ,
This may be related to your app server environment. For example, CPU, memory leads to slow operation. Or there are multiple applications/services running at the same time, occupying too many resources, causing the powershell script to run slowly.

Hi Echo Du,
Thank you for the response.
Server resources seems to be fine. No High CPU or memory
and other scripts are running properly. Only for two specific list from the specific server.
Hi @sns ,
Can you upload your script and provide the screenshots of these two specific lists? This helps us solve the problem better.
Thanks,
Echo Du
Hi ECho Du,

Hi @sns ,
Thanks for your reply.
I conducted a test based on the information you provided, and there was no such situation as you said. This may be caused by too many items in the two lists, or by having multiple views in the list.
If there is no script error, you don't need to delve into this problem. We recommend that you run the script in the front end server environment.
Thanks,

HI Echo Du,
Thank you for your suggestions.
But I would like to know why?
For now I scheduled jo o FE server which is working perfect. Just to inform you I have created another list from same template
where the exact issue happening.
Hi @sns ,
According to my understanding, you created these two lists through template, and running powershell script for these two lists will run slowly in app server environment.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks,
Echo Du
Yes.
and slow for original list too
Thank u
Hi @sns ,
Did you include content when you created the template? If yes, it may be because there are too many items in it. Or there are multiple views in list.
As I said before, there may be multiple reasons for the script to run slowly:
1.CPU, insufficient internal
2.There are multiple applications and services running synchronously, occupying a lot of resources
3.There are multiple timers jobs services running in the background.
Thanks,
Echo Du

HI Echo Du,
Thank you for follow up.
Every service and every job looks good. No issue found. But still issue persists.
did you try to restart App server and run script after that?
Hi Sadomovalex,
Yes. We have rebooted the app server, still the problem persists.
