The Get-Process cmdlet can fetch us this information.

1. At the prompt, type the following to get all the parameters that the Get-Process cmdlet accepts.

PS> Get-Help Get-Process

2. We see a parameter IncludeUserName (the name suggests it is a switch parameter). Get more information on it.

PS> Get-Help Get-Process -Parameter IncludeUserName

3. Run the command:

PS> Get-Process -IncludeUserName

4. Filter out the processes started by you. We will use grep for this operation, until we learn how to filter in PowerShell.

PS> Get-Process -IncludeUserName | grep ram

5. Count the number of processes running under your name.

PS> (Get-Process -IncludeUserName | grep ram).Count

6. If you would like to use the Measure-Object cmdlet, you can.

PS> Get-Process -IncludeUserName | grep ram | Measure-Object

7. Let us now see how what amount of working set all of the processes started by you consume.

PS> Get-Process -IncludeUserName | grep ram | Measure-Object -Property WS -Sum

There is an error.
