Browse All TopicsEverytime I use the Database Engine Tuning Advisor after I click "start analysis", under the tuning log I get this error:
E000 Error encountered while generating reports. Write to [msdb].[dbo].[DTA_reports_
It happens no matter what piece of SQL I am trying to evaluate. Any suggestions?
