#127321 - 2004-10-02 10:21 PM How to Kill Remote Processes without WMI
smudley smudley Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-15 Posts: 16 Loc: Texas of Course!	Dumb question #2, I've search for how to kill process in the forums and tried them in my scripts. They don't work for what ever reason or I don't have WMI on my remote machines. I need to be able to kill a process on a remote, and return an error code of success/fail. Then, after a timed delay, I need to restart that process on the remote returning an error code of success/fail. I've looked at so many posts and trying examples I'm turning into a pile of mush. I appreciate any help. _________________________ Thanks, Smudley

Thus, if it doesn't work, it's a problem on your side. WMI comes standard on Windows 2000/XP/2003 and can optionally be installed on Windwos 9x/NT. See also PSKILL from SysInternals. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

My remotes are NT4 and I don't have the manpower to add WMI to over 100 machines and my corporate bigwigs don't want WMI on any of our MS machines. I'm using XP Pro now and it's not installed. Why corporate decided that beats me. I feel like a one legged duck, just swinmming in circles. I looked a PSKILL but it doesn't return a code unless I've overlooked something. BTW, thanks for the quick replies. _________________________ Thanks, Smudley

WMI is built-in on Windows 2000/XP so one would have to manually cripple it to disable it which would just be plain weird to have someone do that. Unless PSKILL has changed it does return a code Please post the code you were using.
