database maintenance plan...

I'm running SQL 2000 on W2K on two servers. The DB maintenance is set to
automatically remove old transaction log backups. A couple of months ago,
the transaction log backups stop getting tossed. I don't think it has
anything to do with whether or not the db is set to do a simple backup.
I've split the dbs between different maintenance plans and have had no luck.
I'm thinking it has something to do with a hotfix because both SQL servers
had issues about the same time.
I didn't make any changes to any of the Dbs or the SQL server that I can
remember.
Do I need to register the SQL server with Active Directory? I upgraded the
network from NT4 to W2003 and AD.Registering with AD should have no effect... Does the DBMaint Plan log show
any information?
