hi,
I have some tables index can't be rebuilding, reorganizing with the maintenance plans, when I check the physicial statistics, it is still marked as it needs rebuild or reorganize but what ever I do, it doesn't change.

How many pages do those indexes have?

this what I get, sorry my info is not much, but I keep reading in search ^^
My DB suffer from slow downs only when there is a high load on it, I don't know where the issue. I keep trying different things hoping to improve performance. it is not resource issue, as I upgraded my server to a faster machine but nothing improved.
I'm using ODBC SQL Native Client as connection for the DB, I read that there is problem when using ODBC with MSSQL standard edition but with SQL Express this slow downs doesn't appear, I don't remember getting slow downs before when I was using SQL Express but once I upgraded to MSSQL Standard edition, this slow downs appeared. I had to upgrade due to limit size of SQL Express :( sorry for asking much

You can ignore it then. Only bother with indexes that have 1000 pages or more.

Rebuilding/reorganizing rarely fixes a performance problem. You need to look into missing indexes and your statistics.
