HI All, I have a farm with 2 WF and one index server. In the Web Front servers the timer service stops automatically. We then have to manually start the timer services in services.msc. We are not pretty sure why does it stops again and again. Can anyone please help to resolve this issue.

Did you look for any messages in event viewer? The 12 hive log should also show something. It will probably be a pain to track down if you don't know the exact time it shuts down.--Paul Galvin, Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) Microsoft MVP - SharePoint Blogging @ http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/pagalvin

I would start by checking your service pack levels, as this error came under a cummulative update. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949399 Regards John Timney

Thanks for the reply, The Error Message i get it Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7031 Date: 7/7/2010 Time: 4:53:51 PM User: N/A Computer: WEB1 Description: The Windows SharePoint Services Timer service terminated unexpectedly.

Any updates?????

I suspect you'll have other error messages in the event log?

Did you check the URL I suggested, as I believe that it covers that error. Is your patch level up to date? Regards John Timney
