We have a strange but fatal error going on where we enabled service brokers on our production SQL Server but even with no brokers being used, tempdb will get locked by some phantom process. Our ERP will throw lock errors every few minutes and we aren't even running any queues.
When you try to get tempdb's properties, it errors out.
This makes no sense as we haven't implemented our code just enabled the standard brokers.
Desperate for ideas,
