Not able to create maintenance plans

  • Just migrated to a new server.

    Running Sql Server 2005, have applied SP3, 64 bit.

    Not able to create maintenance plans, I get an error.

    Unable to execute requested command.

    The action you attempted to perform on a remote instance of SQL Server has failed because the action requires a SQL component that is not installed on the remote computer.

    I just started working with SQL Server and would appreciate any input, thanks.

  • Do you have SSIS installed?

  • It is installed.

    I did a migration from a 32 bit to a 64 bit server yesterday.

    I created a named instance, realized that I should have created a default instance, no way to undo, so installed another instance-default.

    Am able to connect to the default instance from SSIS.

    Just did a test am able to create a maintainence plan on the named instance.

    I know now some components were not installed yesterday as we were rushing to get the server back up, how do I go back and just add what is needed?

  • Is it possible your client tools are at a different rev from the server? Meaning are they both SP2, SP3, etc.?

  • Steve,

    That was it, did forget to apply SP3 to the second install. thanks a bunch, much appreciated.

    problem solved.
