A nice script for clearing the SharePoint Timer Cache

Posted on by

One of the first things I learned when troubleshooting SharePoint was to reset the SharePoint Timer Service Cache.

The basics of it are:

  1. Stop the SPtimerV4 service on a box
  2. navigate to c:\programdata\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\someguid
  3. delete everything but Cache.ini
  4. edit Cache.ini and replace the number you see with the number 1
  5. start SPtimerV4
