Client connection error while trying to create maintenane plans

Error: Ole db error 0x80004005 Client unable to establish connection

This happens when trying to create a maintenance plan in sql 2005 sp 1

It has now happend with 3 installs - one fresh install and two upgrades from 2000 to 2005. The startup account for sql server is a domain user account and has not been changed. This happens on both windows 2000 and windows 2003.

This however does not happen if the sql startup account is in the local admin group for the machine

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

This happens when the client is on the same machine, so the first link would probably not apply in this case as it deals with remote connections.
