Returning values with WMI

Hi, have a look at the properties of the Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory class.  Run this code in file called MemoryDetails.vbs, with the command
cscript MemoryDetails.vbs

and you will see the output.  See if that's what you need.

I got this code from Microsoft's ScriptoMatic v2, which allows to choose all of the published Win32 classes, and you should look through those to get what you need.

Thank you for your response, it is very helpful.  I still don't see how I can get the value of the System Cache, do I need to do calculations to get this?

I was thinking that maybe the CacheBytes value above would be the actual "current" usage, whereas the one shown in Task Manager might be a long term calculation of averages or amount reserved.
Perhaps you should try to collect the CacheBytes value for a while and see if gets close to the Task Manager reported value, over time....

Regards,
