create a script for sql server 2005 database maintenance plan

hi,
after I manually create maintenance plan using SQL server Maintenence
Plan Wizard with SQL Server Management Studio, is there any way to
create a script for all these setting that I've done?
So that I can just modify the database name and run it on another pc,
the same setting will apply in this pc. Or is there other ways to do
it?
Thanks.Hi
AFAIK there is no way of doing this for the whole plan, but the SQL for
individual tasks can be views in the View T-SQL button when they are editted
.

A maint plan is an SSIS package stored in MSDB. You can use SSMS or DTEXEC.E
XE to export that
package to a file. That file is XML. You can now modify that file and distri
bute it to the target
machines. (This is from theory, you need to experiment a bit...)

ject explorer to SSIS)
or DTUTIL.EXE.

If you wish to save a package to a file you would use BIDS and not SSMS. You
may want to check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137712.aspx
and the package deployment tutorial.

In Object Explorer, select the Connect button (top of Object Explorer), sele

specify the server name (no instance name, you can only have one SSIS servic
e). Now, expand the
Stored Packages folder, MSDB, Maintenance Plans. Right-click your package an
