Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have noticed my SQL 2012 server is running between 87-95% CPU usage. The environment is a Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 standard installed, the server is not used for anything else other than VPN occasionally. We only have one instance running and the CPU is a 3.4GHz Quad Core Xeon and task manager is reporting SQLSERVER using all the CPU.<br />
<br />
I would like to identify where this is being used, weather there is a leak or it is legitimate and i need a secondary CPU.<br />
<br />
Look forward to reading your solutions.
