SQL Server Maintenance plan not opening

Sometime you may fot the below error while opening SQL Server Maintenance Plan:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
‘Agent XPs’ component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of ‘Agent XPs’ by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling ‘Agent XPs’, see “Surface Area Configuration” in SQL Server Books Online. (ObjectExplorer)


It is possible that someone had disabled the Agent XPs component on your server.

Run below sql query to re-enable Agent XPs and then try to open maintenance plan again. It will work.


sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
