Everytime I try to run the optimization maintanance, I get this error.

It runs for about 30 minutes then returns this error.

Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.

I've tried to find the description of this error, but can not.

Please help

Thanks

This is a prime example of why not to use maintenance plans.

However, cehck the maintenance plan, it should create either a history table or a history log file, or both, and you should be able to check those for the actual reason the job is failing.

Common reason: You ran out of disk space, or you ran out of transaction log.
