like I've already experienced and like it's also written down in KB Article
Q295022, the SQLMAINT utility is missing in the standard installation of the
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Enginge;

after having SP2 installed I tried to create a maintenance plan that should
simply backup one database every minute (just for testing), BUT the job
history gives me following error:

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

and

The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 43 (??????). The last
step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
</snip>

furthermore....

1st) the dialog for editing the maintenance plan gives some strange errors
after trying to store the modified schedule; something like "error
converting int to tinyint" or a message with special characters...

2nd) the dialog for editing the schedule does not store the set information
correctly; if I setup the schedule to every day and every minute it shows me
(after closing & re-opening) every 366 days and every 716432 hours.

3rd) the checkbox "Verify integrity of the backup upon completion" in the
tab "Transaction Log Backup" is active, even the checkbox "Backup the
Database as part of the Maintenance Plan" is NOT checked. Unchecking this
option, confirming the dialog and re-opening it will activate this checkbox
again.

4th) the schedule name, in the SQL Server Agent Job List, that is associated
to the Maintenance Plan, contains special characters (see error message
above).

can anybody help out here? the most recent Anti Virus Software is running
here and when I use a SQL Server Instance everything goes fine...

Kind regards & many thanks
Meik Schuetz"
