SQL 2005 SP1 Maintenance Plan "Include first level subfolders" checkbox doesn't appear

Hello,

I'm running a SQL 2005 Standard Edition (x86) clustered with SP1 applied on
Window Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, SP1.

We have some maintenance plans to backup databases and transaction logs to
disk (each database goes to a subfolder).  Part of that maintenance plan
includes removing older backup files.  According to this:

http://blogs.msdn.com/sanchan/archive/2006/04/23/581640.aspx

2005 SP1 added an option to "Include first-level subfolders" in maintenance
plans, but I don't see that option in our maintenance plan screens.  I did
verify the server is running SQL 2005 SP1, is it possible that maybe the
management studio version on the server didn't get upgraded properly?
Here's the version numbers:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio      9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools      2005.090.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)      2000.086.1830.00
(srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)
Microsoft MSXML      2.6 3.0 4.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer      6.0.3790.1830
Microsoft .NET Framework      2.0.50727.42
Operating System      5.2.3790

Thanks!

Are you in the wizard? If so, you won't find the cleanup task there. You need to *design* the plan,
add a cleanup task, and here you'll find this option.

Hello,

No, I'm not in the wizard, I am in the design view.  Seems to behave the
same way if I try and edit an existing plan with a maintenance clean task or
create a new one.

Thanks for the reply, any other ideas?

Daniel,

Build 1399 is Gold not SP1. Build 2047 is SP1. You don't appear to be on
SQL2005 SP1.

Hello,

Took a look, the database is indeed SP1, looks like the management tools on
this particular cluster node aren't the SP1 versions though.

No idea how that happened, but yeah, we're looking at patching that.

Daniel,

I believe that before SP2 upgrading a cluster was not as simple as in
SQL2000. I think that you may have to upgrade each node separately. Is the
node that you ran the upgrade on at SP1 and not the other node(s)?
