I have read all other cases that relate to this error and cannot get this to work. Running SQL Server 2012 sp1 on Windows server 2012 R2. Disk space and permissions are fine, but I get the error below when I try and use the check database integrity task within my maintenance plan on both system and user databases. I have researched this and fragmentation is not the issue. I'm lost at this point and would appreciate at least some steps to try. databases are not "read only" as I have read this may contribute to the problem. All other maintenance tasks run fine.
