Script to Map SQL Maintenance Plans to SQL Server Jobs



SQL Server maintenance plans are a great way to set up scheduled maintenance on your databases. With a few quick mouse clicks you have the jobs automatically created for you. However, finding out which jobs run when for which maintenance plans can be a royal pain in the behind if you have lots of plans running. Plus, if you’ve ever inherited a server from another DBA and need to figure out how maintenance has been set up, you know what a time-consuming process this is, especially if plans and jobs have been renamed. This script will match all your maintenance plans on a particular server with the jobs set up for it, as well as provide summary information as to when each job’s schedules run, with what frequency, and what’s enabled and disabled, etc. This script really saves hours. It was written for SQL Server 2000 but should also run in 7.0.
