Hi,

We have 3 WFE.  i have created web application, this web application provisioned on 2 WFE and not being provisioned at 3rd WFE.

Now this site is in production, pls guide how i can provision / create web application on 3rd WFE.

 

I think only way you can do it now is to either delete web application, and recreate it using powershell (if using UI increase app pool time out value following the link http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/a-solution-to-web-applications-not-being-provisioned-on-the-sharepoint-web-front-end-servers/) or remove that server from the farm and try to join it again to the farm so that timer service reprovisions it again.

Edited my answer since Trevor gave more convincing

On the problem server, stop the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service, then start it. You may want to do this from the SharePoint Management Shell:

$si = Get-SPServiceInstance -Server ProblemServer | ?{$_.TypeName -match "Web Application"}
$si.Status = "Offline"
$si.Update()

$si.Status = "Online"
$si.Update() #this may take awhile

Hi,

i run above commands but nothing happen, even nothing written on powershell console.  i replaced problemserver with my serverhostname.

pls guide

thx

Hi Trevor,

any suggestions pls 

thx

Can you expand on "nothing written on powershell console"? If you run the first line of that command, then simply type in $si, do you see anything?

Hi,

below is screenshot.

after running following command

 

$si = Get-SPServiceInstance -Server ProblemServer | ?{$_.TypeName -match "Web Application"}
$si.Status = "Offline"
$si.Update()

when check at CA under SharePoint Foundation Web Application status show Error. then run 

$si.Status = "Online"
$si.Update()

service status at CA updated to start.

how about running old command 

stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype spwebservice
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype spwebservice

pls advise.

thx
