| Nov 15, 2017 at 14:20 | comment | added | Eric VanRoy | unfortunately they only have one server in farm :). I may have to stand up a new server join farm and then remove old server and join it back, then remove second server from farm.... but that will get messy. | |

| Nov 13, 2017 at 20:47 | comment | added | Eric VanRoy | I agree that it is most likely related to the timer service. I have found that the client changed the account the timer service runs as from the "farm account" to the "install account" (not sure why and client does not remember why). I have since changed it back to the original farm account. I have attempted all of the items listed above (as well as changing the farm account to be a sysadmin in the database thinking maybe they played with security there also), but still have no solution. | |
