I'm using SQL Server 2025, with SSMS V22.5.2, and the Maintenance Plan Wizard is grayed out.

I'm running into the problem of the SQL Server Maintenance Plans options being grayed out.

I've gone thru the "common reasons" for this and eliminated those issues.

  • I'm using SQL Server 2025 Standard, V 17.0.1110.1, with SSMS V22.5.2.
  • SSIS, (Integration Services) is installed. I even ran the Repair to verify that it is present.👁 SQL3_SSIS
  • Verified that the account I'm using is a SysAdmin,
  • Agent XPs are turned on, enabled.

What could be the next step to finding a solution?

Thank you,

Keith Vollero

You need to add support for SSIS to SSMS. In the Start menu, find Visual Studio Installer. When it starts, you will see something like this:

Press Modify. On the page that comes up, select Individual components. You need to select SSIS and the installer will then add one of SSAS and SSRS, because there is some dependency.
