arcgis 10.1 - Extract Values to Point from Raster Issue

I am trying to use the tool Extract Values to Points on a File Geodatabase raster, but I am getting some weird errors.

I've used this tool multiple times before with no issue, but not since I upgraded to 10.1, so I'm wondering if there is an issue with it.

The errors I got back so far have been:

1. This error happened when I specified a shapefile as the output: The specified geodataset is invalid for the conversion. The syntax help for the tool you are using should indicate the supported types of input data. For example, for the particular conversion, a rasterlayer may be an invalid type of geodataset.


2. Next I have an error about it needed at least one band in the raster, the raster does has one band. This occurred when I specified a File Geodatabase as the output.


3. Finally I had the good ole Error: 999999 for no apparent reason.

The raster is a DEM derived from LiDAR that was not created by a different company. It's too large to be made available for testing, but here are its specs:

Answer

While I couldn't solve the original problem with the tool Extract Values to Points (Spatial Analyst), I was able to instead use the tool Extract Multi Values to Points (Spatial Analyst).

This tool worked with no issues and instead of creating a new output, it simply appended the DEM elevation values to my existing point file.
