Top ten CPU usage by usename and apps
We have a terminal server that has been accessed by a few users. I would like to know which user's process takes more CPU. Sysadmin out there must be using a simple PS script to gather the top 10 CPU process consumed by end-users, I will appreciate if you could share with me. I use below command at present, but can not e-mail to group of users.
Get-Process -IncludeUserName | Sort-Object CPU -desc | Select -first 5| Select ProcessName,ID,CPU,UserNam
Get-Process -IncludeUserName | Sort-Object CPU -desc | Select -first 5| Select ProcessName,ID,CPU,UserNam
Powershell

Thanks, oBda,
This is what I want, how do I get this info fro remote server?

Do you want to deploy this as a one-liner for copy and paste into a PS console, or rather as a full script?
If as a script, do you want to hard-code the server name(s) and edit as required, or do you want to pass it as command line argument?

I want to put this in a script and hardcode the server, but I will edit the server name if I need it for another server.
Try this then:
$serverName = 'SomeServer'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $serverName -ScriptBlock {
Get-Process -IncludeUserName |
Where-Object {$_.UserName -like "${env:UserDomain}\*"} |
Sort-Object -Property CPU -Descending |
Select-Object -Property ProcessName, ID, CPU, UserName, Description -First 10
} | Format-Table -AutoSize -Property PSComputerName, ProcessName, ID, @{n='CPU'; e={$_.CPU.ToString('N2')}; a='Right'}, UserName, Description

Thank you for this help.
I removed the Format-table and inserted convert-html to output to a HTML instaed, the HTML file is listing all the info I want in addition I have extra columns like PScomputername, runspaceid etc.
How do I avoid that from that HTML file?

Thank you very much, it is working like the way I wanted !!
The command to get the processes won't be getting shorter/less complex than this.
You can remove one of the Select-Objects, but will have to add a Where-Object filter to only show end users.
