My PC was switched off by someone else & now I cannot access Maintenance Plans, etc

  • Hello People

    Recently a person in the IT department decided in there wisdom to switch off my pc, which runs a local DBA SQL2005 Instance for Monitoring. Since then I have been getting error messages when I try to access maintenance plans , agents, alerts and so on.

    I've run a dbcc checkdb against all my local dbs and they came back okay.

    I've created a new backup maintenance plan and could not run it from the maintenance plan section under management studio. I could however run the job agent (which was successful).

    On rebooting my PC the maintenance plan I had just created disappeared.

    My questions are these -

    Is something wrong with the msdb db ?

    How do I know go about fixing the problem (I understand my previously created plans have gone, but I do have scripts so no big loss) ?

    Does have SPs installed make any difference to the solution (Now my pc instance at SP3) ?

    Thanks in Advance

  • That sounds strange. It almost sounds like some of the SQL files are corrupt. I might uninstall and reinstall the tools.

    What errors?

    It's good for client and server to be on the same service pac, but since this is a local instance, that's not applicable.
