how do I kill a user going through sql server management studio

  • I'm somewhat new to the DBA side - I know I've done it before but I can't seem to see where I can see who is running on a database and then how to kill them. Help...

  • sp_who

    sp_who2

    Management | Activity monitor in SSMS

    KILL [SPID] to kill the process

  • Ok, looks like we don't have analysis services turned on (built) for that server. Is that how it works? It's just turned on?

  • No. Analysis Services is for cubes. Totally different application. You just need to do the stuff in the post above to identify the appropriate SPID and then use the command:

    KILL SPID

    That'll disconnect the login after it rolls back any open transactions.
