Update a table column with a sequence number v3

Both Sachinvaishnav and Mark Chad have submitted scripts to populate a column with a sequence number. The first solution uses a cursor; the second uses the SQL 2005 ROW_NUMBER() function.v1:http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=1643v2:http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=1664Since neither script requires a specific order for the sequence number, the same result can be achieved with a single UPDATE statement.

Rebuilding All Indexes

I have added a few indexes to one of my tables in SQL Server 2025: 

ALTER TABLE dbo.CustomerContact
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_CustomerContact
    PRIMARY KEY (CustomerID);

-- Create index on CustomerEmail
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerEmail
ON dbo.CustomerContact (CustomerEmail);
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerEmail
ON dbo.CustomerContact (phone);
I then do this to disable one index: 
alter index IX_CustomerContact_CustomerPhone on dbo.CustomerContact disable
I see this when I check the index status:Index status for CustomerContactI decide to rebuild all indexes with this command: 
ALTER INDEX ALL ON dbo.CustomerContact
After I do this, what will I see for the index status?
