Hi,
I am using Xperf and the latest Windows Performance Analyzer to troubleshoot high kernel CPU of sqlservr.exe process. It seems that symbols for that sql server version are not yet available. (I use default symbol path "srv*C:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols").
Can somebody help me to get it? I really need it. Without it I feel like blindfolded troubleshooting.
It is SQL Server 2008 SP3 Enterprise 64bit (10.0.5500).
The error in WPA log when it tries to download the symbols for it is:

Symbols for other dlls, exes, and even other versions of sql server (e.g. SQL 2014 RTM) I could download without any problems, but not this one, the most important one.
Please help, especially Microsoft people who have access to all pdbs. I would really appreciate it.
Xperf is a really nice tool and it would be a pity not to be able to use it.
