I'm running SQL Server 2005 version 9.0.3042. I'm trying to create a maintenace plan using the wizard, but when I get to where you can select the databases, it shows all the system databases, but only 2 of the 14 user databases.

If I connect to a different 2005 server that's only running SP1 (2047), I can see all of it's databases. Is this is SP2 issue?

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps...to be sure, you should install GDR2 which is the second critical hotfix for sp2.

Tara,

After reading your post and the accompanying link, I applied KB934458.
It did not resolve my problem. However, I did some more digging on my
server and did get it resolved this morning. I should have given more
background in my initial post, so here it is now.

I did a side-by-side upgrade of a SQL Server 7.0 server to a new SQL Server 2005 server. I used detach/attach to get the databases over. I investigated the differences of the 2 user databases that the MP Wizard did see. One had come over from a SQL Server 2000 server, and the other I had created on the new 2005 server. I checked the property options of these and the Compatibility Levels were set to 2000 and 2005 respectively. The databases it couldn't see were the ones I had brought over from the 7.0 server and the compatibility level was set as such. Change the compatibility level to SQL Server 2005 and I can see the databases in the MP Wizard.

I'm going to do some digging now to see if there's any reason why I should keep these databases set to 7.0 compatibility.

If I had posted the bit of information on the migration, I'm sure you would have pointed me right to this answer.

Thanks for your help!

Kevin
