You can get the current memory usage by just looking at MSVM_Memoryen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2010/09/08/scripting-dynamic-memory-part-2-displaying-current-usage-information.aspx#10121448Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:54:15 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10121448Timeshift<p>Just as a note, the MemoryUsage property does NOT return the current memory usage on the virtual machine. What it does return is how much memory is given to it. Eg if you setup 1024 Megs for a VM, it returns 1024, even though the current memory utilization is 300. I&#39;ve yet to find a way to return the actual memory usage except for doing WMI calls on the VM itself. </p> <p>Any ideas on how to do it from the host? (without resorting to KVP)</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10121448" width="1" height="1">
