unable to create maintenance plan

I get an Ole db error while trying to create maintenance plans:

An ole db error ox80004005( unable to create client connection)occurred while enumerating packeges.

If I make the the sql startup account a local admin, everything works fine. I have checked to see according to the kb article to see that the account has all the necessary windows permissions and the account does have all the necessary rights.

Thanks in advance for the help

Answer this question

unable to create maintenance plan

  • lknm

    Have you tried creating that MP using another client's machine, I guess it could be a client tools problem/

  • Elfshadow14

    Have you installed SP2

    If not also note the post above "Maintenance Plan Changes in SQL Server 2005 SP2 "

    Make sure that you change the startup account via SQL Configuration Manager. When you do it that way it takes care of assigning correct permissions to that account.

    I am not sure, since sp2 has some issues with maintenance plans.

    Thanks

    No, Just sp1 so far.

    IT is happening on three different machines - this is while the client is trying to access the server on the same machine.

    Thanks

    Do you have any plans to install SP2 to see if that resolves your issue
