  • Have you confirmed that SQL Agent service is running? And please also tell that either you are using wizard or designer for creating the plan?

  • Yes, the sql Agent is running. I used the designer.

    Version 9.00 3042.00

    I guess it's SP2

  • And this is not applying a Maint. Plan to a MASTER server or a TARGET server right?

    which are part of the multiserver environment

    You can create a multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard, or you can use the design surface. The Wizard is best for creating basic maintenance plans, while creating a plan using the design surface allows you to utilize enhanced workflow.

    To create a multiserver maintenance plan, a multiserver environment containing one master server and one or more target servers must be configured. Multiserver maintenance plans must be created and maintained on the master server. These plans can be viewed, but not maintained, on target servers.

    it's a stand-alone server?

    9.0.3042 = 2005 SP2 yes
