The way I currently build new umbraco sites involves working locally for most of the development process with a remote sql server. Unfortunately, I regularly get hangs for several minutes which eventually come back with "Failed to enter the lock within timeout.". This often happens when recompiling the project and the only way to recover when this has happened is to stop the iis express worker process and get visual studio to restart it! Is there any way to avoid this error? We have, on occasion, had this error after publishing to the server also but it has, thankfully, been fairly rare. I am still seeing this with the very latest umbraco version (7.4.2)
Developing locally, constantly getting error: Failed to enter the lock within timeout.

I realise this is a rather old post but hopefully this will help someone else or at least point them in the right direction.
For us this error was related to the (SQL) database.
Our SQL guy did a bit of maintenance/reconfiguration & that seemed to fix it.

Hi Chris,
How have you solved the issue? It is happening for me only locally.
Kind Regards
