Check Database Integrity Task in Maint Plan Fails

  • I have an issue with the Check DB Integrity Task failing in a maintenance plan. The problem is described exactly at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945067. That is literally the exact problem I am having, but there is a disconnect. The solution is to use sp_configure and change 'allow updates' to 0. Well, it is already 0. I ran the suggested script anyway:

    sp_configure 'allow updates', 0

    reconfigure with override

    Then kicked off the maintenance plan, but as I assumed, it didn't work, same error. This instance is version 9.0.3239 and it will be going to 9.0.4207 this Sunday 2/22. I don't think that will solve anything because I had our test instance at 3239 before going to 4207 and it didn't have this issue.

    I am at wit's end, but before I descend into the Microsoft Support abyss I thought I'd give this Forum a shot...any help appreciated...:)

  • Couple things, are you logging the output of the maint plan? Anythign in there? not SQL Agent, but the text file the plan creates.

    Are the server and tools at the same version? Can you open the plan using SSMS on the server and save it there?

  • Thx for the reply...

    Yes, the mx plan log has info in there just as the KB article describes, here it is:

    ***************************************************

    I logged onto the server and opened SSMS, was able to save changes to the mx plan. SSMS is version 9.00.3042.00, the server is vesion 9.0.3239. Hope that helps answer your questions...thx! :ermm:

  • I know this is an old post, but I'm having the same problem. Based on research I've already changed:

    allow updates to 0

    CPU and I/O affinity set to Automatic

    Seems others have just gone to using either the AITScripts or some other home grown solution (like the ones here on the site).

    I'm on SQL Server 2005 SP 3, haven't applied the cumulative update yet, though.

    9.00.4035.00
