    When ever I tired to drop or disable indexes on Table I got the following error.

    Disable Failed For Index

    Additional Information:

    ---> An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

    ---> Lock Request Time out period exceeded. (Microsoft SQL Server , Error:1222)

    I tried through scripts and GUI but luck not work even I extend the lock request time out also but didnt get any solution.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Wait until no one is using the table.

    You can check sys.dm_exec_requests, see what's blocking the drop. You can check sys.dm_tran_locks for details.

    There are some investigative scripts in chapter 6 of http://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/troubleshooting-sql-server-a-guide-for-the-accidental-dba/
