Hallo,

I'm using SSMS 2008. I've defined a maintenance plan and choosen the option to generate a text file report. Works fine if the report is written to c:\temp, but when I choose p:\mssql\backup I get an error message in the log of the maintenance plan: "Access on path p:\\mssql\\backup\\....txt denied."

MSDN Library says "You can select directories only on the instance of SQL Server running the maintenance plan."

Is this the problem? If so, how can I add my directory to the SQL Server?

By the way, the backup files are written into p:\mssql\backup without any problem!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards,
Anna

Well, actually you only have to read the error message - the SQL Server needs to have to have access to the given directory, then everything works fine...
