I have Sharepoint 2013 and Powershell deployment.

I execute muy ps1 script in SPS01 machine. Farm servers are SPS01, SPS02, SPS03, SPS04. User for deploy is UserInstallerMoss , it's Farm Administrator and only local Administrator in SPS01, not in others servers.

I call this function:

function RestartTimerFarm
{
    Write-Host -f Green Restarting OWSTIMER instances on Farm
    $farm = Get-SPFarm
    $farm.TimerService.Instances | foreach {$_.Stop();$_.Start();}
}

I get this error when its call to Stop method:

This operation uses the SharePoint Administration service (spadminV4), which could not be contacted. If the service is stopped or disabled, start it and try the operation again.)

Now, I set UserInstallerMoss as local Administrator in SPS01, SPS02, SPS03, SPS04.

I get this error:

This operation uses the SharePoint Administration service (spadminV4), which could not be contacted. If the service is stopped or disabled, start it and try the operation again.)

But if I execute WMI and Get-SPServer cmdlet all is OK

$servers=Get-SPServer | where {$_.role -ne "Invalid" }
        foreach ($server in $servers)
        {
            $serverName = $server.Name
            WriteTrace("Server in Farm... " + $serverName)

            CheckRemoteServiceStatus -Machine $serverName -Name "SPAdminV4" -Status "Running"

            WriteTrace("Restarting SPTimerV4 service in server... " + $serverName)

            $result = (Get-WmiObject -computer $serverName Win32_Service -Filter "Name='SPTimerV4'").InvokeMethod("StopService",$null)
            Start-Sleep -seconds 2
            $result = (Get-WmiObject -computer $serverName Win32_Service -Filter "Name='SPTimerV4'").InvokeMethod("StartService",$null)

            WriteTrace("SPTimerV4 service restarted in server " + $serverName)
        }

  • Are you running the commands on the server which runs the Central Administration? This error message could appear if commands are executed elsewhere. – moe Aug 6 '14 at 7:12
  • From my findings the $farm.TimerService.Instances doesn't implement start() or stop(), so this shouldn't work at all. Could you please explain first what you are trying to achieve with your script? – user32207 Aug 6 '14 at 8:48
  • I want restart Timer Service (SPtimerv4) in ALL servers in FARM. About Stop-Start : serverfault.com/a/556058 – Kiquenet Aug 6 '14 at 11:12
