Transfer SQL Server Objects Timeout

Question

Hello
I have created a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task with the following settings:
DropObjectsFirst = True
CopyData = True
CopySchema = True
CopyAllObjects = False
TablesList = (1 table in collection)
CopyIndexes = True
It copies a large table (13 million rows). The data transfers across fine, however it fails when trying to create the indexes giving the error "Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to
completion of the operation or the server is not responding.The statement has been terminated."
I can however create these indexes in SSMS either using T-SQL or using the GUI with no problem. What could be causing this timeout?
Thanks

You will need to use CopyIndexes = False
Then an extra script to add the index
I suspect that the target may have a slow disk subsystem yet being a Standard SQL Server where the indexing is resource consuming and the built in time out (that you cannot override) is not long enough.
