this nifty little query will show you who’s logged on and is using a lot of CPU for example, or has High IO activity etc. …
You probably know sp_who and sp_who2 , this is just a variation on those SP’s.
I found this on the net but i tweaked it for my goal : Get high IO users. I dont seem to find the original author…
Anyway, fire away !
