Script Task.

SQL Server Maintenance Tasks

Check Database Integrity Task: This task will allow you to check the integrity of
all the objects in one or many SQL Server databases.
 Execute SQL Server Agent Job Task: This task allows for the execution of a SQL
Server Agent job.
Execute T-SQL Statement Task: This task is similar to the Execute SQL Task,
however it only supports Transact SQL Statements. It should be used for SQL Server
specific SQL statements.
History Cleanup Task: This task allows for the cleanup of historical activity data. It
will cleanup the history for database maintenance plans, backup activites, restore
activities and SQL Server agent jobs.
