    Remote Process Information

    Using WMI I can get the full path of a process on a remote computer:
    "SELECT ExecutablePath FROM Win32_Process"

    Without wmi I can get theprocessname and id:
    For Each ps In System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get Processes(PC.Na me)
    processgrid.Row s.Add(ps.Proces sName, ps.Id)
    Next ps

    Any ideas how I can get the process path (using vb 2005)

    Thanks,
    Pete.

          I tried that, but it only returned a bunch of zero length strings.

              Have you tried ps.MainModule.F ileName?

                      So, back to WMI then?

                          the remote machine.

                          Actually, that would be quite cool - you could make it a web-service and
                          then query it from any computer through a web-based interface as well as
                          from your application :-) Um - don't know if that's what you want though!!

                          Cheers,

                              Thanks for your efforts RB, but I just wanted a method of reading/
                              controlling processes as and when required, so a service would be
                              overkill (and over my head at the minute - though I will look into it
                              at some stage).

                              Regards
                              Pete
