WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

Add the OPTION (MAXDOP 1) to the SELECT statement to disable parallel plan generation for the query.

-or-
Set the max degree of parallelism configuration option to 1. If you set max degree of parallelism to a value of 1, this suppresses parallel plan generation for all queries that are run on the server.
