SQL 2005 Maintenance Plan failed

  • I am new to SQL 2005. I just downloaded adventureworks database and trying to create a maintenance plan.. It fails and gives me this error:

    The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (domain\user) of job AdventureWorks Daily Backup has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'domain\user', error code 0x5. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404) The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 3621)).

    Does anybody know what this means.. Can you please help?

  • You're using domain acct,and SQL Server will need to contact the domain controller to validate the acct. Check with the IT team if you have sufficient access and privileges .

    >> Try using SQL Logins / User (SA) which have sysadmin role and also access the database.

    >> Try to add the domain account to the local admin group of the local box where you have the SQL Server installed.

  • Try using local windows account for SQL Server agent and other services. If that solves the problem then later you may trouble shoot the domain account permission and connectivity issues.

  • Hi,

    I am sure security is the main cause in your case.Up to my knowledge you need to have Integration services to be installed to get ur maintanence plan works properly.

  • open the job properties and set the owner to sa
