    Hello Experts

    In one of our env, we have SQL Server 2005 Express Edition; The problem is when i try to Right-Click "Management" in the Mgmt Studio Management , i don't get the Maintenance Plan as one would normally get with other SQL Server Versions. As a result of this , the Transaction log keeps growing and fills the disk.

    Any suggestions / inputs would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    SQL express doesn't include the agent and therefore can't run maintenance plans.

    You can use the windows scheduler to run backup commands (using SQLCMD)
