How to get remote process list


ur
 Share

Recommended Posts

With  ProcessList ( ["name"] )  we are able to get the running process list from the local machine.

 

Is there anyway to get the list from Remote machine, more precisely to get to know the status whether a particular application is running or not on remote machine using AutoIT?

 

We can implement through PSList.exe, but again we need to parse the text of it to read the output.

Is there any direct UDF in AutoIT?

a way by using WMI.

#include <array.au3>

_ArrayDisplay(_GetTaskList()) ; Pass the target computer name for remote clients

Func _GetTaskList($strComputer = @ComputerName)

    If Not Ping($strComputer) Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
    Local $usr = "", $pass = ""; set this only if different from current user

    ; https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394372(v=vs.85).aspx
    Local $objWMILocator = ObjCreate("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($strComputer, "\root\cimv2", $usr, $pass, "", "", "&H80")

    Local $colProcesses = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process")
    If Not IsObj($colProcesses) Then Return SetError(2, 0, "")

    Local $aProcesses[$colProcesses.count + 1][2] = [[$colProcesses.count, 0]]
    Local $i = 0

    For $objProces In $colProcesses
        $i += 1
        $aProcesses[$i][0] = $objProces.name
        $aProcesses[$i][1] = $objProces.ProcessID
    Next

    Return SetError(0, 0, $aProcesses)
EndFunc   ;==>_GetTaskList

@jguinch, seems that  WMI is happy with the VB hex notation "&H80", while if you want to use the AutoIt hex notation 0x80 then pass it without quotes. If you use the decimal number 128 it's always ok with or without quotes.

Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($strComputer, "\root\cimv2", $usr, $pass, "", "", 0x80)

or

Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($strComputer, "\root\cimv2", $usr, $pass, "", "", "128")

or

Local $objWMIService = $objWMILocator.ConnectServer($strComputer, "\root\cimv2", $usr, $pass, "", "", 128)

Correct: We are able to get the details using PSTools. But the question is: Do you need the details? If yes, which one?
You didn't mention this in your originial post.
