Hello,
On SQL 2005 with mixed authentication, I am simply trying to create a maintenance plan to backup one single database. When I get to the end of the wizard, the creation process fails with this message:
Create maintenance plan failed().
I installed SQL 2005 using my domain account and the services are running under my account credentials. I am a domain and local admin.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Chris
I created a maintenance plan to back up a database. It fails and I get the follow error in the log file.
Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4064: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
What user is it referring to? What user does a Maintenance plan use to login as? SA on the server has full access to all databases. SA’s default database is master and I can read and write to it with the enterprise manager and query analyzer.
All replies appreciated
I created a user db integrity maintenance task. The created job runs once a week. It fails. How do you tell at what point is fails? The history log is not specific about where things go off the rails.
The job errors as follows -
Execution of job "User Integrity check subplan_1 failed. See history log for details
If I run the sql in a query window it goes right through - error free.

W2k3SP2 running SQL2k5SP2 in mixed mode. Trying to run a daily maintenance plan with a domain admin service account [domainsqlsvc]. This account is having login failure when I try to run the maintenance job. Would like to figure out why this account cannot authenticate with SQL. I believe I have local login denied, but login as a svc and login as a batch job are both enabled in Domain Policy.
What am I missing?
TIA for your help!

Ever since upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SP2 build 3050 all my maintenance plans which begin with a Check Database Integrity Task are failing! If I remove the task from the plan they all execute properly. If I run the T-SQL equivalent manually it executes properly.
I upgraded the server to build 3054 and rebooted several times and Im still having no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help with this.

Our backups by default go to a network location, but I'd like to modify our maintenance plans to backup to an alternative location if the primary location isn't available. I've setup two Backup Database Tasks where the second one runs only if the first one Fails, and if the second one runs (on first one's failure) it then sends a notification to me so I know this occurred.
The Plan is running as expected, when I simulate a bad path in the first Backup Task the second one runs and the notification is sent, but the Job shows failure. I'd like to show the job as Successful when this occurs since I'm handling the issue and notification within the Plan, but I'm unable to find out how. I've set FailParentOnFailure to False on the Plan and I've changed the MaximumErrorCount to 2 with the assumption that this would work, but neither didn't.
Also I'm running into this in both SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.
I have installed SQLServer 2005 from Small Business Server premium edition. The package has been upgraded to SP2 and all the fixes have been applied.
I want to create a new maintenance plan to automate my DB backup procedures using SQL Server Management Studio. I start Management Studio and right click on the management folder and I I see is "Refresh" there is no "Create New Maintenance" plan presented.
I have tried this using the sa built-in account and the server administrator account both of which have sysadmin priviledges. I have also tried it from a client machine with another sysadmin userid but they all give the same results.
I checked to see if SSIS was installed. The add/remove programs wizard for SQL Server shows Integration Services SP2 is installed but I went ahead anyway and re-installed without error.
It seems that either SSIS is not running or I my user roles are preventing the maintenance wizard from running. Is there some way that I can tell if, in fact, SSIS is properly installed and running?
Thanks.
I have had two SQL 2005 Stnd x64bit servers running without any problems for several weeks now. I just setup two new ones last night. One the two new ones, I get an error message when I try to create a Maintenance Plan. I also get an error when I try to create a plan using the Wizard.
The error message is:

Created a maintenance plan to backup my sharepoint databases.
When I execute it the following error occurs:

line 1? Is that line one of the T-SQL statement? Because if that's the case then it's not because I copied and pasted the line in to a query and it executed without error.
Under SQL Agent there are no entries!
So what bloody log am I suppose to be checking?! This is very frustrating.
I then copied and pasted every sql statement in to a query and THEY all ran just fine.
What's going wrong here, and how can I correct it?

I have been told to use the following Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts methods to create a maintenance plan programatically. Can I use C# to program a maintenance plan? If so, how could I use DTS methods to create a maintenance plan? Or, moreover, what would be a good first step to create this?
-Kyle
I need to programmatically create a SQL 2005 maintenance plan at hundreds of customer sites. Each plan will be a little different because of path names, database names, etc., so I can't use one canned plan without modifications. I know that SQL 2005 maintenance plans are XML packages and SQL jobs, so scripting isn't an option. I've seen mention of using the .Net API to create the plans, but I can't find any examples. SMO doesn't seem to have any objects for managing maintenance plans. Can someone point me to an example of using the API to perform this task?
Thanks,
Tom
I am new to always on management, I would like to know if exist a best practice for configuring maintenance plan on a alwayson system (two nodes) or is just running the maintenance plan wizard on both nodes.

I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
Thanks.
I have deleted a database from SQL Enterprise Manager. Anyone know a way to clear that database from my maintenance plan? I do not wish to just uncheck the deleted database or create a new database plan.
Thanks!
Hello All
I have been given a SQL Server 2000 database to look after which has been set up with a Database maintenance plan. The plan is set to backup the complete database and the transaction log. The backups are written to the local disk correctly but the plan is also set to remove any backup files (both database .BAK and transaction log .TRN) that are over one week old. Complete database .BAK files are written daily and the .TRN are written every hour daily. The .BAK files are removed ok automatically but the .TRN files are not - they are just slowly filling the disk. There does not seen to be anything different between the way the main database and the transaction log is set up in the maintenance plan.
I would be very grateful for any ideas
I have a strange thing in one of our Maintenance plans.
On the first tab where you check which databases you're including in the plan I have (say my database name is CAT) a 'CAT' and 'cat' database listed and the one chosen is 'cat'. However my database in all other views shows up in all caps. (even when I do an sp_helpdb)
The backups look like they're working, etc. but it just seems weird. If I go to create a new plan it only gives me the one option 'CAT' which is really what's there. I'm new and I'm thinking the database at one time was 'cat' and this is when the maintenance plan was created. Then it was renamed to 'CAT' and there's the two db's showing in the old mainenance plan.
What would you do? Create a new plan with "CAT" and just get rid of the old one with the weird 'cat' and 'CAT'?
Any other suggestions or ideas on what happened..

I've created a database maintenance plan to backup a database, but it just
isn't happening, am i missing something. The maintenance plan appears to be
created successfully.
responses appreciated.
thanks

Can you generate script for a maintenance plan?
I know how to script a job, I was wondering about a plan.
If not, whats the best way to record the configuration?
Thanks

hi everyone..
this is a little bit weird ..
i am trying to make a backup strategy. i am using sql2005.
when i go to maintenance plan. right click >> new maintenance plan...
nothing happens..
if i go with the maintenance plan wizard everything goes normally.
after doing the backup, if i right click on it and press
modify , nothing happens too.
what i mean by nothing happens is that it doesn't open the "design view".
the back up is doing normally.. but i need to set a range of 5 days before overwriting the oldest backup.
any idea what is going on or what am i missing?!
thank you

SQL 2005 w/ Sp2
Created weekly (full backup) and a daily (differential backup) Maintenance Plans using the wizard. I formatted the server, installed the OS and SQL. Restored the full backup (No Recovery Mode), then restored the differential backup (Recovery Mode), tested and all worked well.
Then I noticed the original Maintenace Plans I created (Full and Differential) were gone; makes sense as I had formatted the server.
Is there a way to create a Maintenance Plan file or script that I can save and just add back to the server??
Hope that makes sense.
Any help appreciated.

Hello 2 all,
Could someone advise and/or correct me with my thoughts on how I would do my db maintenance plans?
(db's on SQL2000 as 'full' model)
Backups:
1) Daily Transaction log backups scheduled frequently enough.
2) Full Backup scheduled daily. Good way to start I presume ;)
Maintenance: Would be scheduled daily if possible, on non-production hours and if not colliding with daily full BU schedule.
3) Full DB reorg data&indexes.
4) Update Query Optimizer Stats (although 'Auto Update Stats' is on)
5) Shrink the logfile (ldf) as I presume this will have grown due to previous maintenance jobs.
6) If 5 ok, alter ldf filesize back to new allocated size.
Rgds,
T.
Hi
As per my backup policy I need to do a full backup dialy & transactional backup every 30 minutes , can i use the Maintenance plan to do this
or should I write T-sql statements & create jobs.....
I mean whats the difference between the two methods.
Thanks
Hi folks.
Our products are VB6-based interacting with MSDE2000 i.e. none of our clients have EM. We have auto-backups performed twice a day by default and we encourage people to keep it to a least 2 per day.
Yesterday, one of our clients reported a problem. Upon investigation, I did a DBCC CheckDB WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS which returned the following:
Object ID 1461580245, forward row page (1:159), slot 50 points to page (1:234), slot 43. Did not encounter forward row. Possible allocation error.
So after reading a lot of posts and blogs from Paul Randal, I proceeded cautiously to copy the DB then perform a DBCC CheckDB REPAIR_REBUILD which had no effect, then a DBCC CheckDB REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS which also had no effect. Then, I determined which table was at fault via DBCC CheckTable and I exported its data to a blank table where I discovered the missing data row and corrected for it manually. End of story.
Not a funny situation. The worst part is that this defect may have been there for a very long time, meaning that restoring the latest backup would not have helped the situation. I now realize that relying on backups alone is a huge no-no.
So, having been scarred into reality, I would like to install an automated maintenance plan. I'm used to doing it on my personal station using EM but, as stated above, I can't do that for the clientele. I was thinking about simply shrinking the databases and then doing a DBCC CheckDB WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS on all of them before performing a backup. Would this be a complete enough procedure or should I be doing something else? My understanding is that this will verify index structure and data integrity, and not attempt to repair anything which is uncovered.
Any thoughts of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if there were any best practices for creating maintenance plans?
Im just getting started into the DBA world and have been delegated the task of creating maintenance plans for our 8 SQL servers.
Right now, our backup policy is Fulls on Saturday, differentials Monday-Friday.
Also, since im new, if you defragment the database and rebuild the index, does that have the possibility of "breaking" anything?
Just looking for some good articles, or anything to get me started on best practices.
Much appreciated.

I am relatively new to SQL Server 2005. I have gone ahead and created a maintenance plan which backs up all our databases. This plan is scheduled to run every night. The problem is that each time the plan runs, new backup files are created which quickly uses up valuable disk space.
How do I set up SQL Server 2005 to only create one set of backup files and overwrite any existing files when the maintenance plan is run? I tried playing with the "backup set will expire" settings, this did not seem to do anything.....
Thanks
I have a SQL 2000 server that has a small but very important database (about 5GB). The current maintenance plan does trans logs every hour and full every day. Currently they are to file on the same drive array. I would like to send them to a share on another server just to be really safe.
Would it be better to
1. Redirect the maintenance plan so that trans logs and backups go directly to the share
or
2. Keep the maintenance plan back ups to the current location and write a script that runs every hour and copies the .bak files to the share.
Also, since the database is so small should I just do full backups every hour instead of transaction?
In the Enterprise Manager of SQL Server 2000 I have set up a maintenance plan which rebuilds my indexes. I've stuided the documentation, and from what I've learned what happens behind the curtain is that several DBCC REINDEX commands are being issued.
Question:
If I have 20 tables and 40 indexes: Will SQL Server do the maintance plan in 1 single transaction, or will it divide the it up to eg. 20 or 40 transactions?

Are there any known issues using Maintenance Plans to backup DBs in SQL Server 7.0
Thanks
Hi there,
We are using a database maintenance plan to backup and reindex our db's. Up until the end of last month this was working perfectly - however now it has stopped deleting the old backups (even though we have checked 'Delete files over 1 day old').
Does anyone have any ideas as to why they are now being deleted - and how we can remove them automatically - has something been corruped? Would it be a case of creating a new maintenance plan?
thanks in advance,
Matt
