Get a snapshot of a process' memory usage.
Get-ProcessMemory [[-Name] <String[]>] [-Computername <String[]>]
[-Credential <PSCredential>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-Authentication <String>] [<CommonParameters>]Get a snapshot of a process' memory usage based on its workingset value. You can get the same information using Get-Process or by querying the Win32_Process WMI class with Get-CimInstance. This command uses Invoke-Command to gather the information remotely. Many of the parameters are from that cmdlet.
