- Open an agent job that's been created by your maintenance plan
- Open the step
- Click Advanced
- Checkmark "Include step output in history"
- Click OK until you've closed out of the job
- Open the maintenance plan. Do anything or nothing at all and click save
- Go back to the job and look at the checkbox
Does anyone know a solution for it? This used to be a problem for job ownership (every time you saved the plan, the job owner reset to your login), but there was a setting you could change to make the problem go away. I'm hoping there's a solution to this as well. It's getting really old to open every maintenance job and re-check the box every time I save anything to do with the maintenance plan. This is not the same thing as setting "Log extended information" within the maintenance plan logging interface.
