Q. How do I create a resource-allocation policy?

Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Windows Server Resource Manager snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Windows Server Resource Manager).

Right-click Resource Allocation Policies and select New Resource Allocation Policy.

Enter a name for the policy--for example, Daytime.

Click Add to add processes for which WSRM should allocate resources. You'll see the dialog box that the figure at Figure shows. In the Process Matching Criteria column, select the process for which you want to set limits, then enter the maximum amount of CPU you want to allocate to that process. You can also set memory limitations by selecting the Dependencies tab. Repeat this addition for each process whose resources you want to limit.

Click OK to close the dialog boxes.
