This stuff looks really cool - have spoken with the boys from App-V (Sean D.) and the file format documentation looks really helpful.

A new version (1.4) was posted to the website yesterday. This version just improves the display for people that have lots of VMs and want to full screen the display for better visibility.

Hi Tim,

ADDS stands for "Active Directory Domain Services". See, for example, here:

I wouldnt hold ur breath.

Application shopping solutions fall into this solution set. And if you look to MS they deliver this via SC Service Manager (beta) product. Well thats assuming it hasnt fallen out of scope with the re design of this product.

A small step would be fixing up roaming profiles

:-P

My bad! I should have defined it when I first used the abreviation. I will patch the main article.

ADDS = "Active Directory Directory Services". Microsoft kindof rebranded what we have known as simply AD.

I just got hangup on the ADDS beeing repreated. What the heck is ADDS? Never heard of. I sure know ADP, whatever, Active Directory Partitions, ADAM, Active Directory Applications Mode. ADDS? Nothing, For certanly it's not a double acronym along. Active Directory Directory Services...Or is it something that adds? Nah, far off. So what the heck is ADDS???

Just an update after the event. Microsoft recorded all of the TechDays presentations. You can still go to the site and register to view the presentations for free.

Upon investigation, this appears to be a Microsoft issue on WS2008. It may be reproduced using Wbemtest against the same HV counters instead of this tool. I have a bug into Microsoft.

The tool isn't intended to be a long term monitoring tool. So just shut it down after a while and the wmiprvse worker process will shut down. You can slow the rate by using the configuration. I suppose you could increase the quota in WMI, but that is not recommended.

Tim, no. We don't use SCVMM, this is a simple Win2008 ent x64 server on Intel Quad Q9300, 8Gb RAM and 5 VMs.

All windows updates are installed.

That's a new one to me. Are you running SCVMM or any other wmi based monitoring utility talking to the primary partition OS?

Tim,

Thank you for such excellent utility!

But when I use it on my hyper-v server (64bit win2008) it generates warnings in error log like this:

---

Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped WMIPRVSE.EXE because a quota reached a warning value. Quota: HandleCount Value: 4707 Maximum value: 4096 WMIPRVSE PID: 4244

---

Is this bug in our system or some kind of error in your utility?

ps: sorry for poor English.

An updated version (1.2) is now on the site. 8/16 cores should now show OK without overwrites. Also the graphs now have history, showing the last 60 intervals and an average value.
