      In the Timer Job Definitions page there are a few jobs that I would like to delete (orphaned Content Deployment jobs).  However, when I run the following command they dont show up (only about 4 show), and, in the Timer Job Definition page the web site column lists "N/A" for the ones I want to delete.  I really dont know what value to use for -title in order to get these jobs to show.  Any advice?  "SSP" is the only SSP that shows on /_admin/managessp.aspx (of course it has about 5 websites).

      stsadm -o enumssptimerjobs -title SSP

        Hi,

        try this:

        Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions and mouse over the job you need to delete and look at Internet Explorer status bar (in the right bottom corner) while pointing your mouse cursor on the orphan timer job. Note down the GUID after JobId=

        Run the following command and replace objectId with above GUID number.

        stsadm.exe -o deleteconfigurationobject -id <objectId>

        Hope this helps!

        Cheers,

            That did it!  For some reason the delete command I found and thought to use required the -title as well.  I wanted to do it the way you suggested but didnt know about "deleteconfigurationobject".  Excellent, thanks!

              Thanks....!

              Hi Intrawebs,

              I did it with "deleteconfigurationobject", when we copy the JobId it had "%2D" and removed that it worked fine, may be it will be helpful to you,

              Thanks

                Threre's PoweShell way:

                you can list timer jobs with:

                Get-SPTimerJob

                it will show you "Name" of the timer job (not display name). once you know it:

                $job = Get-SPTimerJob NameOfTimerJob
                $job.Delete()
                Get-Process owstimer | Stop-Process

                by killing "owstimer" process you can avoid caching of "Job Definitions" you just deleted
                and don't worry, it'll start automatically in a few seconds
