Unable to create Maintenance Plans

  • Hi,

    I am trying to create a maintenance plan throught the UI of the Mangement Studio - SQL 2005 Standard Edition.  I get the following error and have not found a useful solution.  We have SSIS installed.

    --

    An OLE DB error 0x80004005 (Client unable to establish connection) occurred while enumerating packages. A SQL statement was issued and failed.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks

  • it may be a problem with the surface config - I seem to remember I had to allow something to enable maint plans - probably the SSIS service ?

  • Hi,

    i just have the thame problem and found this solution that works for me:

     

    1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\"sql startup account"\Application

    Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-21......

    (where "sql startup account" should be the name of your startup account

    for sql server")

    2 Backup and then delete any files in the S-1-5-21etcetc folder. (but

    don't delete the folder)

    3. Restart SQL Server.

    Hope that helps

  • It looks like Cerificate issues.

    Can you please check SQLError Logs and see if there are some errors related to certificate or Encryption?

    Steps provided by Michael will work if above is true.

     

     

  • Hi,

    Both of you have put me on the right track it seems like -  I did find the missing certification in the error log.  Here is the curious thing - I do not find the Crypto folder in our sql startup account folder.  The only place the crypto  is found is in the server admin's folder.  What does it mean? 

     

    Thanks

  • Did some one change startup account?

     

  • The start up account is the same as it has always been.  However, the ssis uses the built in network service account.  I did not set this up, so I don't know why the different account for ssis, only that it is the default account used during installation.

     

    Thanks
