Maintenance plan/job error - clustered server

  • I need assistance with troubleshooting a error received when trying to create a maintenance plan/or job. :w00t:

    OS - MS Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Ed/SP2 PAE

    Clustered server - active/passive nodes

    DB server - MS SQL Server Standard Ed/SP3

    All programs installed including SSIS

    Errror received when I try to create a maintenance plan

    Cannot show requested dialog.

    Additional information:

    Unable to execute requested command.

    Method not found: 'Void

    Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DatabaseMaintenance.TaskUIUtils..ctor()'.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.MaintenancePlanWizard)

    Unable to create jobs too...

  • This will generally happen when the client tools have not been upgraded to at least the same version as the server you are connecting to.

    Validate your clients tools have been upgraded to at least SP3.

  • It is generally recommended to use coded scripts for maintenance instead of using maintenance plans, especially in case of enterprise servers.

    You would be able to find a lot of scripts on the site depending on your need and then schedule to run as jobs.

    They also allow for efficient management and troubleshooting.

  • Actually, that is what I genearlly use when creating maintenance plans. However, everytime I created a new job using the maintenance stored procedures, clicked Ok to save and go back in to the job, everything was gone. That's why I tried creating a plan using the wizard just to see what would happen. Plan was created, but no contents. I did try reinstalling SP3 based on the first reply & received two failures.

    Failure 1:

    Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)

    Error Number: 11009

    No passive nodes were successfully patched

    Failure 2:

    Client Components

    MSP Error: 29549 Failed to install and configure assemblies

    (The transaction Manager is not available)

  • Resolved the issue.

    MSDTC would not start due to the fact that I needed to create a resource through cluster admin on both nodes. Started the MSDTC service, reinstalled SP3 with no errors. Job creation was successful. 😀
