Hello, I have two different MOSS 2007 servers in the same domain. With server 1the daily or weekly alerts work, but with server 2 (my Live server)they do not work. The user gets a confirmation mail from server 2. And even gets the immediately created alerts!!!! The user doesn't get anyweekly or daily alerts summary from server 2. There must be a difference between the two servers, but I don't know what... Can anyone please help me?

Try running "stsadm -o getproperty -pn alerts-enabled -url http://sharepoint" from your box to start with. This should confirm that alerts are enabled. Then run... stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-daily-alerts -url http://sharepoint and stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-weekly-alerts -url http://sharepoint This should return a value if set or false if not! If not, then this is your problem. To correct run... stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-daily-alerts -url http://sharepoint -propertyvalue "daily between 22:00:00 and 06:00:00" and stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-weekly-alerts -url http://sharepoint -propertyvalue "weekly between Fri 22:00:00 and Mon 06:00:00" Replace http://sharepoint with the relevant value for your site collection and the -propertyvalue with the required value and you should be away! Regards, Chris

Hello Chris, Thanks for your reply. When I try to run, I get the message "The server administration programs and the Windows SharePoint Services Web applications on this Web server are not compatible. Ensure that the administration program is the same version as the Web application." Any idea? Thanks

Hello Chris, I have tried to run the command but get the following message "The server administration programs and the Windows SharePoint Services Web applications on this Web server are not compatible. Ensure that the administration program is the same version as the Web application." Could you please advice? Thanks a lot. Stefan

There is probably a PATH variable pointing to an old version of SharePoint. Try navigating to : C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin and running the stsadm.exe in that folder against the abve commands. Cheers, Chris

I just want you to know I have the same problem and it is not a PATH problem, any ideas? thanks

If you are certain the issue is not with your stsadm.exe file being the wrong version then it could be that you have different patches on your various servers and this issue is being caused by that.

Hello, I solved this "PATH-variable problem" by not adding the -url to the command-line.... But my problems with the daily/weekly alerts are still an issue.The user gets an confirmation mail, but doesn't get any weekly/daily alerts summary. The user only gets the immediately created emails.... These are the things that I already tried:Setting using stsadm.exe - stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-daily-alerts -url http://moss3201 -propertyvalue "daily between 00:00:00 and 23:55:00"- stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-weekly-alerts -url http://moss3201 -propertyvalue "weekly between Mon 00:00:00 and Fri 23:50:00"- After that I restarted the "Windows Sharepoint Timer" service and restarted the server! No luck. - Because the immediately created email works, I assume that my "Microsoft ForeFront Security" and "Windows Firewall" settings are oke.- There ar no errors in Eventviewer PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Have any of you had any luck with this yet? I am having the same problems and nothing seems to work.

Sad to say I have the exact same issue after moving a site to another server. I also notice that immediate alerts is not an available job definition. Have tried ALL the st....exe stuff suggested and got the same results. Hope someone has some advice soon. PB

it seems a bug in WSS 3 when u migrate site. SP1 fix a similar issue but I havent try that.

Hello, At this moment, I have excluded the sps3://moss3201 URL to be crawled. Could this cause my problems with the daily or weekly alerts? Please Help Stefan

I'm having the same issue as well!Immediate emails work fine, like group memberships. But email from publishing features don't work, like daily content review requests.I've tried checking database tables and I've tried the above mentioned stsadm-commands, with no luck. What's the best way to troubleshoot this?Thanks for any responses!

Those commands all worked fine on my server running wss 3. The "gets" showed that both daily and weekly were off and the "sets" added entries to correct that...But still no weekly or daily emails... what should the propertyvalue be set to?"weekly between Fri 22:00:00 and Mon 06:00:00" does this mean the job runs then? are the emails queued somewhere?

Latture,Alerts are managed with the contentdatabase tables: immedsubscriptions contains immediate alerts schedsubscriptions contains all other alerts (daily, weekly, etc)You can check whehter your alerts are queued in these tables.Ref: MSDN Blog

There are 136 in my schedSubscriptions and 500 in the immed.is there a manual way to process these? i thought all the immediate ones were working fine though...

I did a server reboot (after iisreset failed) and that started the weekly alerts working.

Hello, sverelst I had a same problem and found simple solution. Our SP frontend server and database server in two different mashines and one perfect day windows time difference exceeded 5 min. All I need to set up correct time on each server. This link helped me: http://www.apps4rent.com/support/kb/article/why-sharepoint-dailyweekly-alerts-do-not-work-while-the-immediate-ones-do

Hello Chris, It is helpful solution but when running stsadm -o getproperty -pn alerts-enabled -url http://sharepoint first once result is "No" just because there is no custom parameter. But default settings includes alert notifications. When user set parameters stsadm -o getproperty... return "Yes" just because there is custom parameter was set.
