Task Manager VM size on Server 2003 R2 Standard TS
Hi
We use Server 2003 R2 Standard as Terminal servers and I was checking the memory usage on one of the Terminal servers, and was wondering what exactly "VM Size" is?
For one of our users Outlook had a "Mem usage" of 60MB and the "VM Size" was around 140MB. Does this mean that Outlook is currently only using 60MB but it has actually allocated 140MB?
I have also encountered that it was opposite, "Mem usage" using 200MB and "VM Size" was aroung 100MB.
I have been searching through Google for a proper discription but can't quit find it, but it might just be me :-)/Lasse

VM Size might be referring to virtual memory size, including data in
memory and paged to disk. I think the interpretation here is that 60MB
is nonpaged and 80MB is paged to disk.

Have you tried running process explorer,

Sometimes the memory and process info reported is more useful than the
memory infor reported by task manager.
