In recent past I have REBUILD system databases in SQL Server. After sometime. I tried to enable Database mail profile and to proceed with Mail Configuration. But the error message below stopped me to proceed further. Before I enable Database Mail and proceed with configuration the error message asked me to enable Service Broker first in msdb database. And below two commands fixed and enabled service broker in msdb database and allowed me to configure database mail configuration. ALTER DATABASE msdb SET NEW_BROKER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE ; ALTER DATABASE msdb SET ENABLE_BROKER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE ;

 "OSTRESS" is one of the RML Utilities ( RML Utilities or RML Utils ) with which we can estimate the load on the pressure. However I am not going to explain this feature in detail just adding the command how to run it. Before we run the below command we need to download RML Utilities and can start working with it. Here I am explaining about OSTRESS. You need to run this in the "CMD" not in PowerShell. 1) Install RML Utilities 2) Chnage teh directory(CD) to that path or folder  where you install RML utilities. 3) -n30--> 100000 Connections parallelly run the same query 100000 times which mean one connection will run 100000 queries, here the query is same.

The last portion will shows us the user or author name and module for instance see the image below. git clone https : //github.com/Stephanevg/PSHTML.git

The commands are below: I have already run this so I could see "The Operation completed successfully". If you would have run you may see in the beginning that you could see the " hypervisorlaunchtype AUTO ".  When you run "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off". The status of  hypervisorlaunchtype would change to OFF from AUTO.   Please find the observations below. bcdedit...
