> Don't we have to use WMI to determine the process ID for that? You can use 'tasklist.exe' to list tasks with associated PID. However,
'taskkill.exe' allows you to specify a username, so you should be able to
isolate it's task killing to a specific user. I have not used 'taskkill.exe'
before, I was just offering it up as an alternative to WMI.
Can you offer the group additional details on what you are trying to

understand what you are trying to accomplish.
