Set Service Hooks permissions on existing projects” is failing with “ExtensionNotFound”

I worked with a customer who complained that after an upgrade from TFS 2013 update 2 to TFS 2017 he sees the following errors in the job history:

“Set Service Hooks permissions on existing projects” is failing with “ExtensionNotFound”.

I came to know that the job was from the period where long running servicing was performed in a job, and the job disables itself after running successfully.  The function of the job is now performed by a servicing step in TFS 2017 U1.  The loss of functionality provided by this job was discovered during a post-2017RTM upgrade and added back to TFS 2017 U1 as a servicing step.

TFS 2013 -> TFS 2017 U1 (job will never be created.  Functionality previously performed by the job is now provided via a servicing step).

TFS 2013 -> TFS 2017.   (has the problem reported here.  Job continually fails ☹)

TFS 2013 -> TFS 2015.   (job runs and is disabled after running once.  Perhaps the job definition is removed by a cleanup job – I’m not sure about that)

TFS 2015 -> TFS 2017.   (job already ran with TFS 2015 and was disabled with 2015, no need to run again).

Solution:

For now if any customer complains about this issue ask them either just to ignore this failure or disable this job by executing

UPDATE  tbl_JobDefinition

SET     EnabledState = 2

WHERE   JobId = '6653A70B-1A47-4FB6-83F1-3C9781F0DCA9'

AND PartitionId = 1

in all collection databases.
