Checklist: Managing Resources with Built-In Resource Allocation Policies
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
You can start managing resources immediately by using the built-in resource allocation policies that are part of Windows System Resource Manager. The built-in policies are:
Equal_Per_Process: All processes that can be managed are allocated an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.
Equal_Per_User: The aggregate CPU consumption of all processes run by an individual user is managed so that each user who is running processes has an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.
Equal_Per_IISAppPool: Each IIS application pool running on the managed computer is allocated an equal share of 99% of available CPU bandwidth.
Equal_Per_Session: On a terminal server, the aggregate CPU consumption of each terminal services session is allocated an equal share of available CPU bandwidth.

Critical operating system processes are excluded from built-in resource allocation policies.
