Get CPU load percentage on Windows 2008r2 Server - WMIC doesn't work?

  • 772

I found the command wmic cpu get LoadPercentage was recommended as a way to get a CPU load estimate from a command line.

It works as expected from a Windows 10 system:

c:\>wmic cpu get LoadPercentage
LoadPercentage
21

c:\>

From a Windows 2008r2 server, it doesn't return a value:

c:\>wmic cpu get LoadPercentage
LoadPercentage


c:\>

What can be done to allow this to work, or to get the data another way? I tried some of the other approaches in the referenced article and they didn't work either.

  1. You can try with Powershell : How do I find the CPU and RAM usage using PowerShell?

    Powershell :

    Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor | Measure-Object -Property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average

    Batch :

    @echo off
Title Get CPU load percentage
:Loop
cls
Powershell -C "Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor | Measure-Object -Property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average"
Timeout /T 5 /NoBreak>nul
Goto Loop
