My production database has a maintenance plan that rebuilds all indexes and it's scheduled to run every day at 5 AM.

I disabled some nonclustered indexes that were not used by any execution plan I found, and run a Profiler session to catch any negative impact in performance.

But I found that the indexes were re-enabled the next day by the Rebuild Index task from the maintenance plan.

Is there a way to keep those index disabled? I don't want to drop them as I could have to re-enable some of them by users' request.

Thanks!

if you have the script to disable the scripts, (1) you can either comment out your scripts to NOT index those disabled indexes or (2) after your job re-indexes them, run the script to disable them again..
