Maintenance Plan Job Failing

  • I am running a 2005 instance. The SQL Service Startup and SQL Server Agent accounts are domain accounts with SQL SysAdmin rights.

    When I build a Maintenance Plan and run a job it fails. If I manually create a job and run it all is well.

    All the log contains is:

    Message

    SQL Server Scheduled Job 'MaintenancePlan.Subplan_1' (0x4AB34EC85D1152409A2CA0EAA9AB5E06) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-11-27 10:00:40 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User COMPUTING\Steve_Hindle. The last step to run was step 1 (Subplan_1).

    I have the same setup on another server and it works fine.

    Any ideas as I'm stumped!

    PS. Selecting the SysAdmin Server Role against a login means all other Server roles are covered by definition?

    Regards

  • Check the logfile for the maintenance plan. At least I hope you configured logging.

    The logfile should give you more details about the problem. The default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG

  • Yes I always configure logging. That's where I got the message from I included in the first post.

    Since I posted I have discovered that the SQL box that is working has SP2. The one that isn't has no SP! I'm hoping when I SP2 it the plan will work.
