Hi, Whats the best practices for SharePoint Timer job deployment? Should the timer job to be deployed in WFE server(s) or application server(s). If I use deployment package to deply the timer job, it gets deployed in all the servers, but a Timer Job should only runs on s single server not multiple servers. Thanks, Sanban

Hi, What’s the best practices for SharePoint Timer job deployment? Of course it’s using WSP deployment package. Should the timer job to be deployed in WFE server(s) or application server(s)? The time job should be deployed all WFE servers. a Timer Job should only runs on s single server not multiple servers? The timer job is not an independent service, the SharePoint services Timer will run this job. As we know the SharePoint services Timer will run in all WFE Servers not a single server. Hope this helps Thanks! Stanfford

Hi Stanford, Thanks for replying.. I'm not clear about the last point, I do not want my timer job to run in all WFE servers. My timer job is a daily alert timer job, so I do not want my user to get multiple alerts for the same task. So it should run in single WFE server only. Thanks, Sanban

The SharePoint services Timer will decide whether your custom timer job is instanced or not in all WFEs. It’s up to the value of SPJobLockType properties.
