Windows System Resource Manager Overview

Applies To: Windows Server 2012

You can use Windows System Resource Manager to allocate processor and memory resources to applications, users, Remote Desktop Services sessions, and Internet Information Services (IIS) application pools.

With Windows System Resource Manager for the Windows ServerВ® 2012 operating system, you can manage server processor and memory usage with standard or custom resource policies. Managing your resources can help ensure that all the services provided by a single server are available on an equal basis or that your resources will always be available to high-priority applications, services, or users.

Windows System Resource Manager only manages processor resources when the combined processor load is greater than 70 percent. This means that it does not actively limit the resources that can be used by each consumer when processor load is low. When there is contention for processor resources, resource allocation policies help ensure minimum resource availability based on the management profile that you define.

Role/Feature description

You can use Windows System Resource Manager to:

Manage system resources (processor and memory) with preconfigured policies, or create custom policies that allocate resources per process, per user, per Remote Desktop Services session, or per Internet Information Services (IIS) application pool.

Use calendar rules to apply different policies at different times without manual intervention or reconfiguration.

Automatically select resource policies that are based on server properties and events (such as cluster events or conditions) or changes to installed physical memory or number of processors.

Collect resource usage data locally or in a custom SQL database. Resource usage data from multiple servers can be consolidated on a single computer running Windows System Resource Manager.

Create a computer group to help organize Remote Desktop Session Host servers that you want to manage. Policies can easily be exported or modified for an entire computer group.

Practical applications

Because Windows ServerВ 2008В R2 is designed to give as many resources as possible to non-operating system tasks, a server running a single role usually does not require resource management. However, when multiple applications and services are installed on a single server, they are not aware of competing processes. An unmanaged application or service will typically use all available resources to complete a task. Thus, it is important to use a tool such as Windows System Resource Manager to manage system resources on multipurpose servers. Using Windows System Resource Manager provides two key benefits:

More services can run on a single server because service availability can be improved through dynamically managed resources.

High-priority users or system administrators can access the system even during times of maximum resource load.

Methods of resource management

Windows System Resource Manager includes five built-in resource management policies that you can use to quickly implement management. In addition, you can create custom resource management policies to meet your specific needs.

Built-in resource management policies

You can enable built-in resource management policies by selecting the type of policy to use. No further configuration is required.

Equal per process

When the Equal_Per_Process resource allocation policy is managing the system, each running process is given equal treatment. For example, if a server that is running ten processes reaches 70 percent processor utilization, Windows System Resource Manager will limit each process to using 10 percent of the processor resources while they are in contention. Note that resources not used by low utilization processes will be allocated to other processes.

When the Equal_Per_User resource allocation policy is managing the system, processes are grouped according to the user account that is running them, and each of these process groups is given equal treatment. For example, if four users are running processes on the server, each user will be allocated 25 percent of the system resources to complete those processes. A user running a single application is allocated the same resources as a user running several applications. This policy is especially useful for application servers.

Equal per session

When the Equal_Per_Session resource allocation policy is managing the system, resources are allocated on an equal basis for each session connected to the system. This policy is for use with RD Session Host servers.

Equal per IIS application pool

When the Equal_Per_IISAppPool resource allocation policy is managing the system, each running IIS application pool is given equal treatment, and applications that are not in an IIS application pool can only use resources that are not being consumed by IIS application pools.

Weighted Remote Sessions

When the Weighted_Remote_Sessions resource allocation policy is managing the system, the processes are grouped according to the priority assigned with the user account. For example, if three users are remotely connected, the user assigned Premium priority will receive highest priority access to the CPU, the user assigned Standard priority will receive second priority to the CPU, and the user assigned Basic priority will receive lowest priority to the CPU. This policy is for use with RD Session Host servers.

When Weighted_Remote_Sessions is set as the managing policy, system management is delegated to the Windows Server 2012 scheduler, and Windows System Resource Manager only profiles the system. Setting or removing Weighted_Remote_Sessions as the managing policy requires a restart of the computer imposed by the kernel.

Custom resource management

You can use custom resource management methods to identify resource users and allocate resources to them based on your own criteria.

Process matching criteria

Enable you to select services or applications to be managed by resource allocation policy rules. You can choose by file name or command, or you can specify users or groups. For example, you could create a process matching criterion that applies management to the application iexplore.exe when it is run by the user Administrator.

Resource allocation policies

Allocate processor and memory resources to processes that are specified by the process matching criteria that you create.

Exclude applications, services, users, or groups from management by Windows System Resource Manager.

Note

You can also use command-line path matching in a resource allocation policy to exclude an application from management by only that policy.

Use a calendar interface to control one-time events or recurring changes to resource allocation. Different resource allocation policies can be active at different times of day, on different days of the week, or according to other scheduling paradigms.

Conditional policy application

Automatically switch resource allocation policies in response to certain system events (such as installing new memory or additional processors, starting or stopping a node, or changing the availability of a resource group in a cluster).

Removed or deprecated functionality

Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is deprecated beginning with Windows ServerВ® 2012. You should begin planning now to use alternate methods for any applications, code, or scenarios that depend on this feature. Windows System Resource ManagerВ is an administrative tool that controls how CPU and memory resources are allocated. For more information, see.

Question

I have installed FSRM on my 2012 R2 servers over a month ago and need to make a change to one of them today and could not find it on the server. The service is running and I’m getting reports from the File Screens I setup. FSRM.MSC does not exist on the server and if I copy it from another server it will not load the snap-in. Why would it just go away?

All replies

Sounds like the tools are not installed.

File Server Resourse Manager is an optional service of File Server Role. When you setup File Server Role, you can select File Server Resourse Manager or not select. As Ivo Jeglov’s suggestion, please check if it installed.

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) overview

Applies to: Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel),

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a role service in Windows Server that enables you to manage and classify data stored on file servers. You can use File Server Resource Manager to automatically classify files, perform tasks based on these classifications, set quotas on folders, and create reports monitoring storage usage.

It’s a small point, but we also added the ability to disable change journals in Windows Server, version 1803.

Features

File Server Resource Manager includes the following features:

  • Quota management allows you to limit the space that is allowed for a volume or folder, and they can be automatically applied to new folders that are created on a volume. You can also define quota templates that can be applied to new volumes or folders.
  • File Classification Infrastructure provides insight into your data by automating classification processes so that you can manage your data more effectively. You can classify files and apply policies based on this classification. Example policies include dynamic access control for restricting access to files, file encryption, and file expiration. Files can be classified automatically by using file classification rules or manually by modifying the properties of a selected file or folder.
  • File Management Tasks enables you to apply a conditional policy or action to files based on their classification. The conditions of a file management task include the file location, the classification properties, the date the file was created, the last modified date of the file, or the last time the file was accessed. The actions that a file management task can take include the ability to expire files, encrypt files, or run a custom command.
  • File screening management helps you control the types of files that user can store on a file server. You can limit the extension that can be stored on your shared files. For example, you can create a file screen that does not allow files with an MP3 extension to be stored in personal shared folders on a file server.
  • Storage reports help you identify trends in disk usage and how your data is classified. You can also monitor a selected group of users for attempts to save unauthorized files.

The features included with File Server Resource Manager can be configured and managed by using the File Server Resource Manager app or by using Windows PowerShell.

File Server Resource Manager supports volumes formatted with the NTFS file system only. The Resilient File System isn’t supported.

Practical applications

Some practical applications for File Server Resource Manager include:

Use File Classification Infrastructure with the Dynamic Access Control scenario to create a policy that grants access to files and folders based on the way files are classified on the file server.

Create a file classification rule that tags any file that contains at least 10 social security numbers as having personally identifiable information.

Expire any file that has not been modified in the last 10 years.

Create a 200 megabyte quota for each user’s home directory and notify them when they are using 180 megabytes.

Do not allow any music files to be stored in personal shared folders.

Schedule a report that runs every Sunday night at midnight that generates a list of the most recently accessed files from the previous two days. This can help you determine the weekend storage activity and plan your server downtime accordingly.

What’s new — prevent FSRM from creating change journals

Starting with Windows Server, version 1803, you can now prevent the File Server Resource Manager service from creating a change journal (also known as a USN journal) on volumes when the service starts. This can conserve a little bit of space on each volume, but will disable real-time file classification.

To prevent File Server Resource Manager from creating a change journal on some or all volumes when the service starts, use the following steps:

Stop the SRMSVC service. For example, open a PowerShell session as an administrator and enter Stop-Service SrmSvc .

Delete the USN journal for the volumes you want to conserve space on byВ using the fsutil command:

For example: fsutil usn deletejournal /d c:

Open Registry Editor, for example, by typing regedit in the same PowerShell session.

Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrmSvc\Settings

To optionally skip change journal creation for the entire server (skip this step if you want to disable it only on specific volumes):

  1. Right-click the Settings key and then select New >DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  2. Name the value SkipUSNCreationForSystem .
  3. Set the value to 1 (in hexidecimal).

To optionally skip change journal creation for specific volumes:

Get the volume paths you want to skip by using the fsutil volume list command or the following PowerShell command:

Here’s an example output:

Back in Registry Editor, right-click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrmSvc\Settings key and then select New > Multi-String Value.

Name the value SkipUSNCreationForVolumes .

Enter the path of each volume on which you skip creating a change journal, placing each path on a separate line. For example:

Registry Editor might tell you that it removed empty strings, displaying this warning that you can safely disregard: Data of type REG_MULTI_SZ cannot contain empty strings. Registry Editor will remove all empty strings found.

Start the SRMSVC service. For example, in a PowerShell session enter Start-Service SrmSvc .
