Installing WSUS Server Role on Windows Server 2012 with Microsoft SQL Clustered Database

Bonjour à tous (For those of us who don’t know French, its ‘Hello Everyone’ :)). I just started learning French, so hoping to do better than this. WSUS is one of my favorite application and I taught it wise to show us how to setup one on a Windows Server 2012 but this time using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster. To begin with, you need to ensure you have a clustered SQL environment already in place.

Top Cached SPs By Execution Count (SQL 2008)

[sourcecode language=”sql”] SELECT TOP(250) p.name AS [SP Name], qs.execution_count, ISNULL(qs.execution_count/DATEDIFF(Second, qs.cached_time, GETDATE()), 0) AS [Calls/Second], qs.total_worker_time/qs.execution_count AS [AvgWorkerTime], qs.total_worker_time AS [TotalWorkerTime], qs.total_elapsed_time, qs.total_elapsed_time/qs.execution_count AS [avg_elapsed_time], qs.cached_time FROM sys.procedures AS p WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats AS qs WITH (NOLOCK) ON p.[object_id] = qs.[object_id] WHERE qs.database_id = DB_ID() ORDER BY qs.execution_count DESC OPTION (RECOMPILE); [/sourcecode] – This script tells you which cached stored procedures are called the most often – This helps you characterize and baseline your workload

Top Cached SPs By Avg Elapsed Time (SQL 2008)

[sourcecode language=”sql”] SELECT TOP(25) p.name AS [SP Name], qs.total_elapsed_time/qs.execution_count AS [avg_elapsed_time], qs.total_elapsed_time, qs.execution_count, ISNULL(qs.execution_count/DATEDIFF(Second, qs.cached_time, GETDATE()), 0) AS [Calls/Second], qs.total_worker_time/qs.execution_count AS [AvgWorkerTime], qs.total_worker_time AS [TotalWorkerTime], qs.cached_time FROM sys.procedures AS p WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats AS qs WITH (NOLOCK) ON p.[object_id] = qs.[object_id] WHERE qs.database_id = DB_ID() ORDER BY avg_elapsed_time DESC OPTION (RECOMPILE); [/sourcecode] – This helps you find long-running cached stored procedures that may be easy to optimize with standard query tuning techniques

Top Cached SPs By Total Worker time (SQL 2008)

[sourcecode language=”sql”] SELECT TOP(25) p.name AS [SP Name], qs.total_worker_time AS [TotalWorkerTime], qs.total_worker_time/qs.execution_count AS [AvgWorkerTime], qs.execution_count, ISNULL(qs.execution_count/DATEDIFF(Second, qs.cached_time, GETDATE()), 0) AS [Calls/Second], qs.total_elapsed_time, qs.total_elapsed_time/qs.execution_count AS [avg_elapsed_time], qs.cached_time FROM sys.procedures AS p WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats AS qs WITH (NOLOCK) ON p.[object_id] = qs.[object_id] WHERE qs.database_id = DB_ID() ORDER BY qs.total_worker_time DESC OPTION (RECOMPILE); [/sourcecode] — This helps you find the most expensive cached stored procedures from a CPU perspective — You should look at this if you see signs of CPU pressure
