                                            | I recently performed a SQL Server in-place upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012. I have noticed the following message in log "An error occurred in Service Broker internal activation while trying to scan the user queue 'msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue' for its status. Error: 1222, State: 51. Lock request time out period exceeded. This is an informational message only. No user action is required." each day since the upgrade. I discovered this is a bug in SQL Server 2012 KB2837910. The fix can be implemented in Cumulative Update 4, Service Pack 1, and Service Pack 2. What is recommended path. Is it smart to apply the CU4 update or should I install SP1 or SP2? |  |

                                          | I would just install SP2 as it should include all hotfixes (CUs) from SP1.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

                                          | Thank you for your reply. I will proceed with testing SP2 and then implementing it in production, given all goes well in test. |
