Hi,

I remembered a similar experience. You need to be sure that the Integration Services Service (I know it sounds redundant) is installed and enabled in the server. This is the first step. If this is the case you should be able to save the packages in the msdb from the BIDS.

Second issue, you can only connect to the Integration Server from the Management Studio with Windows Authentication.

I wrote a post with some useful T-SQL commands, maybe it can help you: Manage packages stored in the MSDB database with T-SQL[/url]
