I don?t know if anyone has mentioned Windows System
Resource Manager on the list, but it may be of
interest to some of you out there that have
applications that don?t behave.  Too bad it doesn't
work for Win2K and they are going to require you to
purchase .Net Enterprise or Datacenter to get it.  In
my testing it does work at this time with .Net
Standard Server, but they will probably change this
since it's Release Candidate 2.  I haven't had the
time to try it on Win2K to verify it doesn't work.

WSRM Capabilities
WSRM enables a system administrator to do the
following:
  Set CPU and memory allocation policies on
applications. This includes selecting processes to be
managed, and setting resource usage targets or limits.

  Manage CPU utilization (percent CPU in use). 
  Limit the process working set size (physical
resident pages in use). 
  Manage committed memory (pagefile usage). 
  Apply policies on a date/time schedule. 
  Generate, store, view, and export resource
utilization accounting records for management, service
level agreement (SLA) tracking, and charge-back
purposes.

WSRM includes an updatable exclusion list that helps
you avoid managing processes that shouldn't be managed
because of the negative system impact such management
could create. WSRM manages committed memory. WSRM does
not manage address windowing extensions (AWE) memory,
large page memory, locked memory, paged memory,
non-paged pool memory, or virtual memory.
Scenarios and Benefits

When running multiple applications on a single server,
WSRM enables you to allocate portions of a computer's
resources to each application. This addresses many
situations, which include:
  Allocating resources through server consolidation,
to reduce the ability of applications to interfere
with each other. This applies whether you are running
multiple instances of a single application, or
combining line-of-business applications with other
applications or services. 
  Managing users in large terminal server systems by
application?either individually or by security
group?which limits the effect resource hogs have on
other users. 
  Administering resource usage of individual Internet
Information Server (IIS) 6.0 application pools on a
server; for example, where one server hosts multiple
Web sites.

Other benefits derived from using WSRM include:
  More granularity and control of resources than in
Process Control and the Job Object APIs. 
  Reports on memory usage and CPU time to support
service level agreement (SLA) metrics.
