I have a maintenance plan that I keep getting the following error. Do I need to install SSIS for this to work? In my other server, I do have SSIS installed. I have searched other places for this error but none has resolved this issue for me.

Executed as user: NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 15.0.4312.2 for 64-bit Copyright (C) 2019 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

    Hi @CharlieLor ,

    Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.

    It seems a permission error.

    First please ensure that the Local server connection has been configured correctly.

    And then please check the account which you are used to run the maintenance plan has the full permission to access the Local server connection.

    It is highly recommended to run the package via proxy account in agent job.

    If my Local server connection is configured incorrectly, would I be able to see these databases?
