delete maintenance plans in sql2005

  • Hello please help,

    I have a SQL Server 2005 Maintenance Plan question, and wondering if

    anyone could assist?  Here are the technical details:

    SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed Problem: Deletion of Maintenance Plans (MP)

    Description: I want to delete a MP, but I keep getting the following

    error message: 

    The connection "Local server connection" is not found. 

    "This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element

    is not found.(Maintenance_plan_name)"

    The paket was created before installing SP2.

    Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

    Many thanks.

    Dietmar

  • One enhancement that is done by SP2 is allowing to create maintenance plans without using Integration Services. Maybe the change messed something up. I did not test it  yet.

    A couple of suggestions:

     - Try to create a new package and try to delete it, will it work?

    - Leave the plan. Disable or delete the job that runs the plan.

    - Try to edit this paln and re-define the local server connection. I am not sure about this advice, because I am not sure what connection we are talking about: the connection of your Management Studio to your server's MSDB database to get the plan or the connection inside the plan to the databases to be maintained.

    - Are you running your Management Studio on the server or remotely? Try to run it locally on the server.
