I have a box that is consuming roughly 50G of memory. It has 64G
physical, 32G virtual. I want to determine what is using the memory.
Just looking at the "Mem Usage" column in task manager doesn't add up.
Where else can I look to get a better break down of memory consumption?
 
RE: Determining what consumes memory on Win2K3 server....

- You can run take a System Monitor log with objects - Memory, System,
process, processor, paging file with all counters enabled for a few hours
under normal workload of the server.

- You can then look into the Working set of individual processes and find
out which process is consuming how much physical memory.

- Also, there might be memory which will not be accounted against individual
processes. Check the counters under the System, committed bytes, cache bytes.
