Query to check which maintenance plans have shrink enabled in SQL Server 2008

maintenancesql-server-2008

I know you can use a query to find out which databases have auto-shrink enabled but I'm wondering if this can be done for maintenance plans. Right now we only have a few maintenance plans so it's easy enough to check manually but I can see how it would be useful to have a query to do this.

I think here is what you want. Jamie Thompson has posted on how to extract information from the SSIS packages. Maintenance plans are created as SSIS packages and you can use the information in this post to achieve what you want. Good Luck!
