WSS 3.0sp2 Alerts stopped working (again)
We have a WSS 3.0 SP2 server setup as part of our Team Foundation Server installation. Our users have created alerts so that when documents change they are notified. A few days ago these Alerts just stopped working. Nothing on the SharePoint server has changed so I am at a loss as to why this happened and what to do to fix it. This has happened in the past and the users have just deleted their alerts and recreated them and they started working again. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.John K Ames

Hi John, Can you confirm whether 'Windows SharePoint Services Timer' (from Services.msc - on the SharePoint servers) are running or not? Thanks!BlueSky2010

First, I would check your ULS logs to see if there are any actual errors presenting. The logs can give you a good idea of what the issue might be. Second, does the problem happen after a fixed amount of time? As in, it works for exactly a week, then stops? Also, do the alerts stop induvidualy, or do ALL alerts for ALL documents stop at the same time?
