You gave the command in your first post. KILL <spid> WITH StatusOnly

Well that does not work. I get 0% of 0%.

Thank you.

It does work, it's the correct and only way to get the rollback status and progress.

Check what the rolling back session is waiting for.

My experience is that it does not always work.

I have seen many threads in which this is a problem and does not work as it should.

How do you check what the rollback session is waiting for?

How do you check what the rollback session is waiting for?

Same way you check what any session is waiting for, sys.dm_exec_requests

If you believe that Kill with the statusOnly option is not working, file a bug report on Connect.

I'm not going to ask you to open Google but do you have a favorite query to identify this?

Query sys.dm_exec_requests, filter on the session_id that you killed, check the blocking_session_id and the wait-related columns.

This is also my problem. I'm afraid to reboot the service cause some forums says that it might cause database to be suspect..

Do you really recommend to bounce the service? I have no backup and I can't backup because of this killed\rollback status

Why don't you guys run dbcc inputbuffer (spid#)

It will show which tsql code is currently running.
