Laboratory 3

Part A.
1. Open the Control Panel (press WIN and tap control panel) and select System (this is most
easily done if the control panel is in the small icons display mode), and provide (try to find) the
following information about your computer:

2. Get Windows Experience Index (WEI) score using 3 methods:


d)

B)
e) Using PowerShell (win+x à Windows PowerShell) write command:

Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat
(Responder a la pregunta)

Part B
1. How many CPU's/core’s are listed by the Resource Monitor of your computer?
 4 CPU’s
2. How much active memory is in use 6420MB, free 195MB on your computer?

3. List the top three Processes with Network Activity.


 Winword.exe
 Svchost.exe (NetworkService-p)
 Svchost.exe (UnistackSvcGroup)
Part C
i. Click the Add button on the toolbar (a green +).
ii. Make sure that Select Counters From The Computer is displaying .
iii. Select a performance object from the drop-down list. All Windows 10 system
resources are tracked. These include Cache, Memory, Paging file, Disk, Process,
and Processor.
iv. Select the counter(s) within the selected performance object you want to track.
For now you can add Process connected to eg. Running applications: Microsoft
Edge or notepad to the monitor.

v. Select %User Time and % Processor Time to track Microsoft Edge and notepad++
resources.

vi. Click the Add button to add the counters for the selected performance object.
1. What is the effect on %Processor Time during writing some text in notepad++?
 By making the processor work, we can see in the graph how it increases (%
processor time increased).

2. What is the effect on %User Time during writing some text in notepad++?
 We see that the effect of %user time, increases as we make the computer
work.
3. Try to analyze these counters for Microsoft Edge. What kind of interaction do
you have to perform in order to see increasing of counters values? Please,
conduct some experiments with different interactions/actions. Describe your
conclusions.
 As we can see in the graph, when we open applications and interact with
the computer, our graph shoots up.
For example, when we have opened Microsoft Edge our graph has reached
the maximums and once opened, the graph decreases, but does not reach
the point before opening the application.

4. What about RAM/Disk? How can we observe changes based on counters…? Propose
one experiment to observe changes in counters values. Describe, what kind of
activity has to be conducted to see the counters changes.
Part D
1. Go to File tab. What is the full path name to the example file name?
2. What do the columns show? How can you interpret results?

As we can see we are shown the date and time in this file, which we can assume that a log is
kept when we open or access services on the computer.

Part E

1. Select the event with warning in the list. Look below the General tab then explain what
has happened:
Source: DistributedCOM
User: SYSTEM

2. Try to find more information about selected event: http://www.eventid.net/ or in other


www and explain:
These 10016 warnings are displayed when Microsoft components attempt to
access DCOM components without the necessary permissions.
These warnings are expected and by design.
To overcome this, coding has been implemented to access DCOM components.
This encryption is sent if unsuccessful, another set with different parameters is
sent.

3. Using Filters and Custom Views


PowerShell
 printscreen of your filter
 printscreen of EventViewer before and after run PowerShell.

Before After

 printscreen of PowerShell command-line with result of your command
