    hi gurus, 

    I just upgraded one of production servers from SQL SERVER 2008 to 2008 R2. The server exhibited increasingly high CPU culminating in all 8 CPUs being 100% utilized when SQL SERVER executed one of scripts. These scripts ran everyday successfully before upgrade, and I could not figure out why it leads to CPU 100%, anyone can help me for this? 

    The server information is :

    OS: Win Server 2003 R2  x64, CPU:8, Memory: 64GB.

    Thanks, 

    Justin

    Hello,

    It is recommended to defrag indexes and update statistics when you upgrade to a new version of SQL Server.

    Hope this helps

    Hello,

    <> Make sure the database involved are having updated statistics with full scan:

    Exec sp_MSForEachtable 'UPDATE STATISTICS ? WITH FULLSCAN'

    GO

    <> Also if you know the queeries which are causing high CPU, try using MAXDOP query hint, see if it helps.

    <> Also confirm in performance monitor/task manager, sqlservr.exe is consuming high CPU.
