Maintenance Plan - Unable to Modify in SQL 2005 - However after upgrade it works !?

  • Hi all,

    I am using a Test and production envoironment - both were 2005 -

    I have created several Maintenance Plans in the past - I now want to modify one of them .....

    So a simple right click on the selected plan and ..... nothing ... ziltch ...

    I can Execute and view history ... but not modify - it does appear in the list in a BOLD FONT.

    I have now tested this issue on the Test Server that is running SQL 2008 R2 -

    Modify is still in bold - but it does allow me to modify !?

    Is there a permissions or "Microsoft Feature" issue here ?

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • What is the version of the 2005 system? If is prior to SP2 with a hotfix you will have issues...

    You also need to know what version of the client tools you are using. If you are trying to use the 2012 client tools to modify earlier version that will also cause problems.

  • Hi,

    It is SQL2005 SP2 ( without Hotfix! )

    I have been reading that there is a problem reported from a windows update - I know that I was able to do modifications to MPs at some stage - as I set them up and recreated them a couple of years ago.

    After that said, I am planning on doing an upgrade to SQL 2008 R2 (SP1 ) next week - which should resolve the issue -

    Thanks
