Reindexing generates a log of transaction log activity, and your
transaction log isn't big enough to handle the volume. Exactly what the
error message says.

Hmmmm... This is precisely why I DESPISE that maintenance plan wizard.
You should not be creating processes like this without understanding
their impact. The fact that you have to ask how to expand (or
auto-grow) a transaction log file tells me that you are in over your head.
Read about "Creating and Maintaining Databases" in Books Online to learn
how to configure automatic file growth.

After re-reading this, I should clarify. I wasn't attacking you, my
apologies if it looks that way. Those maintenance plan wizards
frustrate me greatly, because they attempt to gloss over what are some
very critical and potentially dangerous processes. Reindexing is an
intensive process, and shouldn't be possible using a wizard, the
administrator should fully understand what's going on throughout the
process. Transaction log backups, if not done properly, can result in
unusable backups, full log files, all sorts of things.

Just to add to Tracy's comments. Why do you run this shrink job every
week? In my opinion it won't give you anything but trouble and poor
performance. Especially when you have a limit of 50 Mb which is next to
nothing for a database file it's really waste of time to shrink it.
