I set up a Maintenance Plan Task to reindex all five of my databases every Sunday at 7PM. The process starts with "Back Up Database Task", then proceeds to "Rebuild Index Task", and then finishes with a "Maintenance Cleanup Task" to delete backed up files older than 1 week.
When I go into the Log File Viewer, I see nothing but failures for each attempt that was made with the message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 3 (Reindexing Subplan_1). The last step to run was step 1. The databases are backed up, but I believe this means the reindexing is not taking place. My question is, where should I look to find out why this task is failing and what can I do about it.

there should be a text file produced in the LOG directory of the path sql was installed to.

Open the Maintenance folder in SSMS, right-click on the maintenance plan and select View History. This history will break out each task and show you the status of each task.

Ok. So I am in the right place and found the error:
"failed with the following error: "Online index operation cannot be performed for index 'HQ_SQL_PK' because the index contains column 'SQL' of data type text, ntext, image, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max) or xml."
And from what I can tell from the previously posted topic on this error,
"You cannot do an online rebuild of a clustered index if the table contains any LOB data (text, ntext, image, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max))"

Here's a fully tested script that won't havebugs like that one!
