Can not create a maint plan on 64 Bit

  • Hi,

    I have a new install for SQL 2005 on 64 Bit, set up a mirror to another server and I can not create a maint plan on the Principal.

    - I am logged to LOCAL server. Just in case also tried connecting to the local server by name in Management Studio

    - Management tools including Management Studio, Profiler etc are installed. The installation has a mix of BINN directories (by default) under C:\Program Files)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn

    Is the server get confused between the directories?

    - Error message when clicking on New Maintenance Plan:

    ===================================

    The action you attempted to perform on a remote instance of SQL Server has failed because the action requires a SQL Server component that is not installed on the remote computer. To proceed, install SQL Server 2005 Management Tools on the remote computer, and then try again. For more information, see "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 (Setup)" in SQL Server 2005 Books Online, or find the article on MSDN at  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=57083 . (ObjectExplorer)
