Restore the timer service in SharePoint Server – as we know SharePoint timer job is commissioned in all servers connected to the SharePoint farm. If we go to the monitoring from the central administration site, there we could see due to some reasons for some of the servers, the timer job instances are not running or decommissioned which were supposed to be run. In this case how to bring back the failed timer job for that server.
In this article, we will learn how to restore the timer job service instance for the given server if it is not running or decommissioned using the PowerShell script.

$enddate = (Get-Date).tostring("yyyyMMddhhmmss")
#$filename = $enddate + '_VMReport.doc'
$logFileName = $fileName +"_"+ $enddate+"_Log.txt"
$invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value
$directoryPath = Split-Path $invocation.MyCommand.Path
$directoryPathForLog=$directoryPath+"\"+"LogFiles"
if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPathForLog))
{
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $directoryPathForLog
#Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red

$logPath = $directoryPathForLog + "\" + $logFileName
$isLogFileCreated = $False
function Write-Log([string]$logMsg)
{
if(!$isLogFileCreated){
Write-Host "Creating Log File..."
if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPath))
{
Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red
}
else
{
$script:isLogFileCreated = $True
Write-Host "Log File ($logFileName) Created..."
[string]$logMessage = [System.String]::Format("[$(Get-Date)] - {0}", $logMsg)
Add-Content -Path $logPath -Value $logMessage
