The Activity Monitor which shows SPID's in Sleeping mode, will this be any side effects if they are continued to be stationed there OR do I need to Kill them if there seems no activity on these SPID's?

You do not need to kill them.

I knew it, just clarified to get opinion, but there it seems the End Users complaining of not able to get the access and when I saw that there is huge piled up SPID's which do nothing.

Is this applicable to 2000 / 2005 Server as well since 2005 will automatically removes the days old but not in 2000.

I'm not aware of 2005 automatically removing them.

You shouldn't need to kill them in any of the versions. If they aren't running any queries, then they are consuming a very tiny bit of memory, think it might be 8kb or some such.

What error are the users getting?

The Users Either kicked out or unable to get the connection through Remote Citrix or May be slowly running and accessing the data from the Instance.

If there's performance issues, then someone needs to run a Profiler trace to analyze the long-running/expensive queries. Also take a look at PerfMon for hardware bottlenecks such as IO, CPU, and memory.

If connections not being released might you have run out of connections configured for your SQL licence - and its now rejecting connections?

Strangely when I collected all the statistics from the Profiler and I/O, Memory and CPU - No Evidence all reported Normal. There is no such Licence has been Obsolete since governed by the Infrastructure Team all time and Vendors were after that for insight.

The Reason I make is though 'everything' Seems normal users now and then find difficulty in getting their transactions done and rarely complain about the connectivity and speed issues.

Thanks all for participating and if you have ideas which I have missed might be fruitful to me and reading this by other patrons.
