ONLINE indexing is only supported in the Enterprise version (well ... and also the Developer version ).

You cannot use ONLINE if your index (or there is an index on the table which) is XML or SPATIAL; nor on Clustered indexes if the table contains LOB data types (image, text, ntext, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), and XML); nor on Non-clustered indexes that explicitly index LOB data-type columns

Yeah some of my tables have LOB types. Is there an alternate way to do this?

Defrag the indexes, rather than Rebuilding them.

Or Rebuild them offline.
