You can start managing resources immediately by using the built-in resource allocation policies that are a part of Windows System Resource Manager. The built-in policies are:
- Equal_Per_Process: All processes that can be managed are allocated an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.
- Equal_Per_User: The aggregate CPU consumption of all processes run by an individual user is managed so that each user who is running processes has an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.
- Equal_Per_IISAppPool: Each IIS application pool running on the managed computer is allocated an equal share of 99 percent of available CPU bandwidth.
- Equal_Per_Session: On an RD Session Host server, the aggregate CPU consumption of each Remote Desktop Services session is allocated an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.
- Weighted_Remote_Sessions: On an RD Session Host server, the CPU consumption of each Remote Desktop Services session is allocated per the priority assigned to the user.
