TABLE 7-3 Properties of Get-Process and How They Are Used

PROPERTY NAME

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

BasePriority

Shows the priority of the process. Priority determines how much of the system resources are allocated to a process. The standard priorities are Low (4), Below Normal (6), Normal (8), Above Normal (10), High (13), and Real-Time (24). Most processes have a Normal priority by default, and the highest priority is given to real-time processes.

CPU

Shows the percentage of CPU utilization for the process. The System Idle Process shows what percentage of CPU power is idle. A value of 99 for the System Idle Process means 99 percent of the system resources currently aren’t being used. If the system has low idle time (meaning high CPU usage) during peak or average usage, you might consider upgrading to faster processors or adding processors.

Description

Shows a description of the process.

FileVersion

Shows the file version of the process’s executable.

HandleCount

Shows the number of file handles maintained by the process. The number of handles used is an indicator of how dependent the process is on the file system. Some processes have thousands of open file handles. Each file handle requires system memory to maintain.

Id

Shows the run-time identification number of the process.

MinWorkingSet

Shows the minimum amount of working set memory used by the process.

Modules

Shows the executables and dynamically linked libraries used by the process.

NonpagedSystemMemorySize / NonpagedSystemMemorySize64

Shows the amount of virtual memory for a process that cannot be written to disk. The nonpaged pool is an area of RAM for objects that can’t be written to disk. You should note processes that require a high amount of nonpaged pool memory. If the server doesn’t have enough free memory, these processes might be the reason for a high level of page faults.

PagedSystemMemorySize / PagedSystemMemorySize64

Shows the amount of committed virtual memory for a process that can be written to disk. The paged pool is an area of RAM for objects that can be written to disk when they aren’t used. As process activity increases, so does the amount of pool memory the process uses. Most processes have more paged pool than nonpaged pool requirements.

Path

Shows the full path to the executable for the process.

PeakPageMemorySize / PeakPageMemorySize64

Shows the peak amount of paged memory used by the process.

PeakVirtualMemorySize / PeakVirtualMemorySize64

Shows the peak amount of virtual memory used by the process.

PeakWorkingSet / PeakWorkingSet64

Shows the maximum amount of memory the process used, including both the private working set and the non-private working set. If peak memory is exceptionally large, this can be an indicator of a memory leak.

PriorityBoostEnabled

Shows a Boolean value that indicates whether the process has the PriorityBoost feature enabled.

PriorityClass

Shows the priority class of the process.

PrivilegedProcessorTime

Shows the amount of kernel-mode usage time for the process.

ProcessName

Shows the name of the process.

ProcessorAffinity

Shows the processor affinity setting for the process.

Responding

Shows a Boolean value that indicates whether the process responded when tested.

SessionId

Shows the identification number user (session) within which the process is running. This corresponds to the ID value listed on the Users tab in Task Manager.

StartTime

Shows the date and time the process was started.

Threads

Shows the number of threads that the process is using.
