Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor

[prefab]

I have been successfully using
Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor.PercentProcessorTime on XP
because it is supposed to be more effective than
Win32_Processor.LoadPercentage. I used WMI browser on several 2k3
servers and found all are reporting 100% PercentProcessorTime and 0 for
PercentUserTime, PercentPrivilegedTime and PercentInterruptTime. So I
guess I have to go back to LoadPercentage.

Any insights?
cheers

How do you intend on using the class?

Since most of the formatted data classes require two samples to calculate
accurate data, they are designed for use in refreshers where the sampling
interval can be controlled. See

for an example.
