Occasionally I run into problems with the SharePoint 2007 timer service and one of the tricks I have in my bag is to reset the timer service cache on the server with the issue.
Steps:
- Start with the server that is running the Central Administration site (complete all steps then proceed to the next server in the farm and repeat)
- Stop the Timer service, To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
b. Right-click Windows SharePoint Services Timer, and then click Stop.
c. Close the Services console.
b. Right-click Windows SharePoint Services Timer, and then click Stop.
c. Close the Services console.
3. click Start, click Run, type explorer, and then press ENTER.
4. In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the following folder:
Drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
Drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
5. Back up the Cache.ini file.
6. Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder. Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folder is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you do not delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
7. Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the File menu.
On the File menu, click Exit.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.

8. Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

c. Close the Services console.

Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
9. Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
10. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.
11. Click the Operations tab, and then click Timer job status under Global Configuration.
In the list of timer jobs, verify that the status of the Config Refresh entry is Succeeded.
