Best Practices - MAXDOP for SharePoint Databases Should be Set to "1"


Theory Says:

0 - Uses the actual number of available CPUs depending on the current system workload. This is the default value and recommended setting for Non-SharePoint SQL DBs.

1 - Suppresses parallel plan generation. The operation will be executed serially.

2-64 - Limits the number of processors to the specified value. Fewer processors may be used depending on the current workload. If a value larger than the number of available CPUs is specified, the actual number of available CPUs is used.
