Maintenance Plan Execute option is greyed out
When I go to SQL Server Management Studio -> Management -> Maintenance Plans -> Right click on the maintenance plan that I want to execute but the option is greyed out.
- I have checked and SQL Server Integration Services is running.
- I can execute other maintenance plans.
- I have even tried modifying this plan without an issue but Execute stays greyed out.
- There is no other instance of the plan running at the moment.
- I have also disconnected from the SQL Server and connected back but that didn't help either.
- SQL Agent is running.
Solution
I had the same problem. Turns out it was an execution window that was buried. It doesn't show as an "open window" when you look at the taskbar at the SSMS icon, so it's deceptive. ALT-TAB your way through the windows and you should find it.
