Kill a Windows Process

Stanley Johnson

Description:

Kill a Running Windows Process. In the case below the script is configured to kill Winword.exe but a simple change in the configuration area will allow you to kill other processes. Note: if multiple instances of the process are running they will all be killed.

Language:

VB Script/JScript

Code:

'Script Description.
'Kills a Windows process.
'-----------------------------------------

'Declarations
option explicit
Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim strComputer, strProcessKill
Dim ScriptName

'Configuration area. Set the following configuration fields for your environment.
'----------------------------------------------------------
ScriptName = context.GetProperty("ActionTypeName") 'Get's the Action Name
strComputer = context.GetProperty("Address") 'Gets the IP address from WUG
strProcessKill = "'Winword.exe'"

Context.LogMessage( ScriptName & " - Starting")
Context.LogMessage( ScriptName & " - Address = " & strComputer)
Context.LogMessage( ScriptName & " - Process = " & strProcessKill)

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill )
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Context.LogMessage( ScriptName & " - Killed Process")
Next
Context.LogMessage( ScriptName & " - Done")
