Thanks for your replies. Is there anything Microsoft has to offer? Or have the maintenance plan sections been removed?<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I'm a little stuck with SQL 2005.<br />
<br />
I have installed it on our server, and separately downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express.<br />
When I right-click on Maintenance Plans, I only get the 'Refresh' option.<br />
<br />
I believe I'm using the full version of SQL 2005 as I downloaded it from our Volume Licence Site at Microsoft.<br />
<br />
If anyone can help me, it'd be much appreciated. I have attached a couple of images to show what's installed / running as services.<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />

Hi All,

I'm a little stuck with SQL 2005.

I have installed it on our server, and separately downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express.
When I right-click on Maintenance Plans, I only get the 'Refresh' option.

I believe I'm using the full version of SQL 2005 as I downloaded it from our Volume Licence Site at Microsoft.

If anyone can help me, it'd be much appreciated. I have attached a couple of images to show what's installed / running as services.

Many Thanks,

Pete

Cannot Create Maintenance Plan - SQL Server 2005

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
