Is a process running on a remote machine?

Question

I have three remote PC\'s to which I remotely connect. I am trying to write a simple Windows application that would display in a single window whether a particular process is ru

Answer 1

You can filter the name of the process to watch in the WQL sentence, so you can write something like this

 SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("select * from Win32_Process Where Name='Chrome.exe'");

Try this sample app

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Management;
using System.Text;

namespace GetWMI_Info
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                string ComputerName = "localhost";
                ManagementScope Scope;                

                if (!ComputerName.Equals("localhost", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) 
                {
                    ConnectionOptions Conn = new ConnectionOptions();
                    Conn.Username  = "";
                    Conn.Password  = "";
                    Conn.Authority = "ntlmdomain:DOMAIN";
                    Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", ComputerName), Conn);
                }
                else
                    Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", ComputerName), null);

                Scope.Connect();
                ObjectQuery Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process Where Name='Chrome.exe'");
                ManagementObjectSearcher Searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Scope, Query);


                foreach (ManagementObject WmiObject in Searcher.Get())
                {
                  //for each instance found, do something  
                  Console.WriteLine("{0,-35} {1,-40}","Name",WmiObject["Name"]);

                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Exception {0} Trace {1}",e.Message,e.StackTrace));
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

Try Process.GetProcesses("chrome", "computerName");

Defined in System.Diagnostics.Process as

public static Process[] GetProcessesByName(
   string processName,
   string machineName)

Answer 3

In your foreach, try this:

Console.WriteLine(process["Name"]);
