When trying to update some configuration settings in SharePoint 2007 Central Administration, Got the error message:
An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action. The object SPFarm Name=SharePoint_Config is being updated by DOMAIN\username, in the STSADM process, on machine MACHINE-NAME. View the tracing log for more information about the conflict.
![An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action]( "An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action")
Fix: Clear SharePoint configuration Cache.
1. Go to Services console (Start >> Administrative Tools >> Services or Type: "services.msc" in Run dialog box), Find and Stop "Windows SharePoint Services Timer".
2. Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\{GUID}"

3. Select all XML files and Delete (Don't delete cache.ini file!)
![]()
4. Open cache.ini file and enter "1", save and close.
![]()
5. Start SharePoint Timer Job again from services console.
6. Verify the cache clear by opening cache.ini file again. It shouldn't be "1".
