SYMPTOMS

After you install security update 931212 (MS07-040) on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Web front-end server or a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Web front-end server, you receive many errors messages in the Unified Logging Service (ULS) log files in the following folder:

\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS

The error messages resemble the following error message:

8/04/2007 17:39:44.99 OWSTIMER.EXE (0x1554) 0x05B8 Windows SharePoint Services Timer 5uuf Monitorable The previous instance of the timer job 'Config Refresh', id '{573BE459-DF82-481C-84BD-CA14D287450B}' for service '{49A27252-A326-4EF1-B698-6EBC7068833C}' is still running, so the current instance will be skipped. Consider increasing the interval between jobs.

Note The size of the ULS log files may quickly increase depending on how many users access the SharePoint Web front-end servers.
