Database Maintenance Plan Issue with non-default instances

I have a SQL Server (2000 sp3) with one default instance and many named
instances. I have configured, tested, and monitored a database maintenance
plan for the default instance - works fine. I can't seem to get any of the
default instances to perform the maintenance plan. I have examined the logs,
but I don't see any any relevant entries (I just tried to kick off the job
manaully by executing the associated SQL job). I do see one message in the
log across all of the named instances I tried to run the maintenance plan
against, "Using 'xpsqlbot.dll' version '2000.80.194' to execute extended
stored procedure 'xp_qv'". I have googled this message, but I came up empty.
I should also note that the maintenance plan isn't even writing the history
report.
The only difference I'm aware of is that I performed a 'minimum install' on
the named instances. My transaction logs are growing and growing. The only
way I know to keep the size of these in check is to back them up. Please help
if you can.
Thank you,
- Johnny
Hi
It is not clear how you are running this maintenance plan, and if you
created a different plan in the other instances (which if you did will
probably have a different Ids).
You may want to use create a job that calls xp_slqmaint and specifies the
database and options separately rather than in a plan.
