SELECT i.name AS index_name
   , i.type_desc
   , i.is_unique
   , ds.type_desc AS filegroup_or_partition_scheme
   , ds.name AS filegroup_or_partition_scheme_name
   , i.ignore_dup_key
   , i.is_primary_key
   , i.is_unique_constraint
   , i.fill_factor
   , i.is_padded
   , i.is_disabled
   , i.allow_row_locks
   , i.allow_page_locks
   , i.has_filter
   , i.filter_definition
FROM sys.indexes AS i
   INNER JOIN sys.data_spaces AS ds
      ON i.data_space_id = ds.data_space_id
   WHERE is_hypothetical = 0 AND i.index_id <> 0
       AND i.object_id = OBJECT_ID('HumanResources.Employee')
;

To set the properties of an index

The following examples set the properties of indexes in the AdventureWorks database.

ALTER INDEX AK_SalesOrderHeader_SalesOrderNumber ON
    Sales.SalesOrderHeader
SET (
    STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON,
    IGNORE_DUP_KEY = ON,
    ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON
    )
;
ALTER INDEX ALL ON Production.Product
REBUILD WITH 
   (
       FILLFACTOR = 80
       , SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON
       , STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON
   )
;
