Edit/View maintenance plans and jobs with SQL Server Management Studio Express

  • Is it possible to view/edit maintenance plans and SQL Server Agent Jobs with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express?

    If so, what permissions must I give the login?

    Thanks in advance for all of your replies!

  • Definitely can't view/edit SQL Server Agent Jobs.

    How about maintenance plans?

    Thanks,

    jim

  • just use the sps -

    sp_help_job

    sp_help_jobhistory

    ...

    sp_help_maintenance_plan

    ...


    Cheers,

  • I get an error when attempting to call those stored procedures, even from the server. Maybe they have been depreciated for SQL Server 2005?

    Thanks,

  • I recieved the error because I wasn't calling the stored procedure correctly.

    Thank You SO much Todd!

  • We just installed SQL 2005 server. It works fine (allows to setup backup jobs, create other jobs etc).

    I also installed MS SQL Management Studio Express on my PC to access the server remotely. Connecting under SA account gives me a full vew of the database, but with very limited rights regarding to the server management.

    For example, I can see what names of maintanence plans but once I right click on the name it only gives me an option to REFRESH and nothing else. Also SQL Server Agent is hidden and I can not see and manage any jobs running.

    Please let me know how to set more rights or am I missing something on Studio Express setup? or - is that normal??
