    Greetings,

    I am running the script below to collect the TOP 10 Processes consuming CPU.  Is it possible to exclude the processes Idle and _Total?  I tried using "WHERE Name <> '_Total' AND Name <> 'Idle'" but it breaks the script.  Is this possible?  Many thanks as always for any help.

    v/r

    Chris

    Just add a Where-Object to your pipeline  and exclude those records.

    I tried adding the where clause in several different places but I keep getting "The operator is reserved for future use".  Where do I place there where clause?

    Didn't you write this code?  It goes in the pipeline after the counter selection.

    Here is the correct way to write this and format the code:

    $select = @(
    'InstanceName',
    @{ n = 'CPU %'; e = {[math]::Round($_.CookedValue/$CpuCores)} }
)
$CpuCores = (Get-WMIObject Win32_ComputerSystem).NumberOfLogicalProcessors
Get-Counter '\Process(*)\% Processor Time'|
    Select-Object -Expand CounterSamples |
    Where-Object{ $_.InstanceName -notmatch '_total|idle' } |
    Select-Object  $select | 
    Sort-Object 'CPU %' -Descending | 
    Select-Object -First 10
    Format-Table -AutoSize

    I pieced it together from other posts.  I am very new to PowerShell and WMI.  We have switched monitoring tools here and what I used to be able to do via a GUI I now have to write scripts for.  I know it may be simple for most but it is a big learning curve for me.
