The timer job for this operation has been created, but it will fail

Question

When I try to run the upgrade solution command on my server I get following error:

The timer job for this operation has been created, but it will fail because the administrative service for this server is not enabled. If the timer job is scheduled to run at a later time, you can run the jobs all at once using stsadm.exe -o execadmsvcjobs. To avoid this problem in the future, enable the Windows SharePoint Services administrative service, or run your operation through the STSADM.exe command line utility.

Answer 1

Please follow steps given below to ensure SharePoint Administration Services is available:

1. Click on Start->Run->Services.msc.

2. Search for "SharePoint 2010 Administration" service and make sure Status is Started.

3. If it is not enabled, start the service and re-execute the command.
