Thought I'd update folks. This problem disappeared after rebooting our server. Simple solution, but the problem really should not exist.

I just wanted to flag that we seem to be running into "cannot obtain task lock" problem more frequently now and rebooting seems to get things moving again. Obviously there must a better way to deal with the problem and even to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Any inputs highly appreciated.

Thanks

I thought I will post an update on our "cannot obtain task lock" travails for everyone's benefit.

There has been a significant increase in the number of users, number of forums and number of forum posts in our environment. We use Office365 to send out the forum postings as e-mails and use "forced subscription" across all our forums. When I run the forum task manually, I notice that the system takes about 3-5 seconds to send out each post (I just looked at the scrolling screen when I run the task from command line).

The forum task is configured by default to run every 30 minutes. I suspect that we run into "cannot obtain task lock" issue when the task started at time T is still running when the one for T+30 kicks in. So we intend increasing the forum task duration to a larger value and see if solves the problem.

Any other suggestions welcome please.

Thanks
