    It may be possible that Integeration Service in the VM is not updated, Try reinstalling the Integeration Services and reboot the VM and check. :)

    Can you confirm what OS you are running in the VM? Do you see memory change in the "Current Memory" columen of that VM HYper V Manager Console?

    Hello, OS installed on VM is windows server 2008 standard SP1 x64. No there is no change seen in Current Memory column in Hyper-V Manager Console. If min memory assigned to VM is 512 MB then Current Memory remains 512 MB only. Ideally memory should have been increased dynamically as required by test application. However CPU usage shows increase in Hyper-V Manager Console. Thanks You.

    Windows 2008 Standard edition OS on Virtual machine is not supported for dynamic feature. We changed OS on virtual machine and it worked. technet.microsoft.com/.../ff817651(WS.10).aspx
