Our service at CPU:

To configure to limit the CPU we need the user SID number. we can consult this data with the command:

Get-ADUser -Identity user01.003 -Properties *

Now we connect to the server to configure and written:

In the "regedit" we will looking for the user SID number.

We have to create a new REG_DWORD value in the SID of the user called "CpuRateLimit" and we will give the maximum consumption value that we want to limit, for example "20".
