Role required: sn_cimaf.sn_cimaf_admin

Procedure

1. Open the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.
2. Create a MECM script with the name GetProcess.
   For more information, see Create a script in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

   )
   
   $processes = get-process
   
   $Total = 0;
   ForEach ($process in $processes) {
       $Total += $process.cpu;
   }
   
   $processes | Sort-Object $orderBy -Descending | select processname,id,ws,cpu -First $top | select processname,id, @{l="mem"; e={$_.ws}}, @{l="cpu"; e={($_.cpu / $Total) * 100}};
   

4. Retrieve and copy the script GUID.
5. Open the MECM Adapter Configuration [sn_mecm_adapter_config] table.
   The MECM Adapter Configuration table displays the list of adapter configurations.
