No "maintenance" folder in SQL management studio

Do you see the folder Management in Object explorer ?
If you do, do you see SQL Server Logs, DTC, and Legacy, and it's only the Maintenance Plans folder that's missing ?

It is called Management... and under it there is Maintenance Plans

In Management Studio, can you click on Help, and then About, and take a print screen.
It sounds like it's management studio express.

Yes I am only missing the maintenance folder, everything else shows up fine.

Are the databases running in compatability level of SQL2000
Can you check the folders under Legacy ?

Here you go... As you can see my old (now DR) server has the folder on the same management studio install but the new server does not.  

Humpdy,

Yes they are running in compatablility mode 80 but the DR environment is as well and that works fine.

and the SQL Server Serice restarted with no issues after the SP 3 install

Yes and when I ran
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

it returns SP3.

>>SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

it returns SP3.<<
Please post all the output, not just one column.

That is interesting, thing is this is a brand new install.  I just backed up the database and used it to create a new one on this server.  No upgrade at all.  Plus the  msdb.dbo.sysdtspackagefolders90 table they refer to doesn't even exist in the MSDB database.  Also I just checked widows update to make sure I got all the updates and it's showing SP3 needed.  I'm going to re-install that and see what happens.

have you installed SSIS ?

The
Maintenance Plan Wizard (and the interface to plans from SMSS) is part of
SSIS. Install SSIS from the SQL Server CD and you should get it working.

Yes, see below the report from "Add remove Programs":

ISB-INTSQL1
The following components are installed on this server


MSSQLSERVER
Database Engine
[Version: 9.3.4035.00   Edition: Standard Edition   Patch level: 9.3.4053   Language: English (United States)]

Common components
Integration Services
[Version: 9.3.4035.00   Edition: Standard Edition   Patch level: 9.3.4035   Language: English (United States)]
Workstation Components
[Version: 9.3.4035.00   Edition: Standard Edition   Patch level: 9.3.4035   Language: English (United States)]

is the ssis service started ?

Yes and set to automatic.

can you connect to the Server from a different machine using Management Studio ? Do you see the folder in there ?

Yes I can, I'm using management studio from my workstation and can see it fine.  I can connect to the old server and see the folder, and the new server without the folder at the same time.

so weird !!
found this on google.

I found a solution
use msdb
Verify that the folder is missing:
exec sp_executesql N'exec [msdb].[dbo].[sp_dts_getfolder] @P1, @P2',N'@P1
nvarchar(17),@P2 uniqueidentifier',N'Maintenance
Plans','00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

Add the folder if missing:
exec sp_dts_addfolder '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000','Maintenance
Plans','08AA12D5-8F98-4DAB-A4FC-980B150A5DC8'

I'll check that out after I finish the re-install of SP3. I didn't build the server or do the original SQL install, I'm wondering if maybe the SSIS was installed AFTER sp3 was applied...

Hi all,

I had to reinstall SQL nothing else worked.  Thanks for the help. I'm giving the points to Humprty as he spent a lot of time helping.
