    any ideas why is this failing?

  • Try to execute the job yourself.

  • What ID is your SQL Server Agent running under?

    It should be the same as your SQL Server.

  • Shahab,

    Can you confirm if you have configured your maintenance plan to write report to a text file in directory?

    If yes, then that file will give you precise information on what caused the job to fail.

    If no, go to repoting section of your maintenance plan and configure to write report to a text file.

    Hope this helps.

  • I seem to be having the same problem. I can run the Backup DB task, but that doesn't provide a return code (same message as above, although it does back up the databases ok). On success it should move onto the Maintenance plan clear up task, but doesn't. It just reports success and leaves old .bak files in teh backup directory.

    If I change the precedence to be on failure (or completion), it moves on to the next task and removes the .bak files. Logging is enabled but nothing is present after the Details section. Typically the message in the log is:

    Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 9.0.2153

    Report was generated on "[ServerName]".

    Maintenance Plan: System Full Backup

    Duration: 00:00:35

    Status: Succeeded.

    Details:

    This example backed up the databases but didn't remove the old .bak files.
