Is it okay to turn off all OOB scheduled jobs?

Hello experts,

We are asked to check on the active scheduled jobs that can be turned off. For context the instance won't be utilized anymore but they still want to retain that instance for reference. So they turn-off all custom scheduled job that sends reports and are looking for other possible scheduled job to turn off. 

 

Is it okay to turn off all OOB scheduled job? Are there any scheduled job that we shouldn't touch?

Regards,
Vaine

@Rain Vaine 

you need to analyze what each scheduled job does and what impact it has if it's turned off

There are few OOB scheduled jobs which you should not touch such as Import set clean up etc

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Rain Vaine 

 

It's difficult to say outright whether turning off jobs will or will not have an impact. It depends on which jobs you plan to disable and how the associated data is being used. To make an informed decision, review the descriptions of the jobs you're considering turning off, and then proceed accordingly.
