SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

So i went to manage a timer job and was presented with the following screen.

The ULS logs didn’t reveal too much information other than a nullreference exception.

There is however some more information in the widows application event log

There was an exception loading job definition "Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration.ServerScheduledTimerJob" (id "48a2075b-37ac-4866-b498-997374621326"). Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

To fix the issue some PowerShell is needed to remove the job.

Run the following PowerShell script

$job = Get-SPTimerJob <guid of job>
$job.Delete()

The job definitions pages now loads
