Maintenance Plan Fails with the following

 

Databases: All databases

Include indexes

Task start: 2009-06-22T16:57:18.

Task end: 2009-06-22T16:57:19.

Failed:(0) Alter failed for Server

 

Various blogs tell you to alter the allow update configuration item ie:-

 

 

execute sp_configure 'allow updates', 1

 

reconfigure with override

 

This did not resolve the problem, but once it was altered back:-

 

 

execute sp_configure 'allow updates', 0

 

reconfigure with override

 

the job started to function correctly….go figure must be another bug!
