TempDB in SCOM (script)

  • Article

Following recommendation to separate TempDB on multiple files (based on CPU numbers), my colleague Thomas Andersen (SQL PFE) provided me a SQL script for that.

Thanks Mr A!

Script to separate TempDB on multiple files, according to CPU numbers.

-- Add files to tempdb to make the number of datafiles equal to the number of CPUs
