    Hello

    This might be a basic question.

    How can find out the number of CPU's used by the SQL Server.

    Thanks

    Check the run_value from the output of the following proc...

    exec sp_configure 'max degree of parallelism'

    Thank you Mohammed.

    But for all the servers , its showing me the Value '0' ( Zero).

    I want the total number of CPU's present in the Server .

    Do I need to enable anything .

    Thanks

    I think that the following might help:

    In the Enterprise Manager, right click on the server instance - choose Properties - choose Processor tab.

    Or run Performance Monitor.

    exec sp_configure 'max degree of parallelism' returns number of processors used by sql server but I forgot to mention when it returns zero sql uses all processors...

    To get all processors you can use the following too...

    exec xp_msver 'ProcessorCount'
