I was told that one can not expect reliable results using Task Manager inside a VM (Guest). If that is the case, how do you determine CPU and available RAM? (For example on one sql server, there was 8GB total RAM, 4GB used by SQL, 3GB by cache, other odds and ends and 0 bytes free RAM! Yet the server seems to perform well. Baffling)

TIA,
Barkindog

P.S. In one article the author proposed measuring CPU and RAM usage by involving many specialized Hyper-V counters abd PerfMon....... Maybe accurate but is there a more practical way of determining CPU and RAM usage?
