Rebuild Index failed with error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80004003 (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.).

  • I have a maintenance job that runs nightly without incident but last night the Rebuild Idex step failed with this description:

    Source: Rebuild Index Description: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80004003 (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 10:00:00 PM Finished: 10:07:53 PM Elapsed: 473.328 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.

    Nothing has chaged on the server, that I can find. All other maintenance jobs were successful. The SQL log has no entries regarding the failure but the server's Event viewer shows these (I have removed certain info, preceded by xx):

    Event Type:Error

  • The maintenance plan history error was the first in the list:

    Source: Rebuild Index Description: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80004003 (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).
