Failed Maintenance Plan problem due to Allow Updates change. - SQL Server

Failed Maintenance Plan problem due to Allow Updates change. - SQL Server

The failure of the late night database backup and transaction log backup as part of our maintenance plans, prompted investigation.

The maintenance logs revealed the following error:-  'Failed:(0) Alter failed for [Server Name]'

The error messages about the failure did not provide much in the way of useful information.

After further investigation, the solution was to change the 'Allow Updates' setting back from 1 to 0. Use the following T-SQL:-

sp_configure "Allow Updates", 1
GO
reconfigure with override
GO
