    getting the same problem from activity manager.

    any thoughts?

    and have you checked the questions we asked? Is your agent running and also did you check out the link?

    Can you give me more insight into your problem I mean error wise?

  • I actually found out it was my client machine I was running Management Studio from.

    I had read all the different posts... apparently I need to upgrade the sql server installation on my own machine.

    The work around I used was to remotely log on to the sql server itself and use the job activity monitor from there.

    Now I'm running into a different problem... even though I am logged in as 'sa' when I try to delete old maintenance plans it says that my login failed as 'sa'... very strange.

    We just recently changed our sa password.

    and to answer your questions: yes, agent and msdtc were running

  • ok... I resolved it.

    Even though it's cumbersome to solve.

    I opened the maintenance plan I wanted to delete, clicked "manage connections" and edited the login properties with the new sa password.

    then I was able to delete the maintenance plan after that.
