Configuring network to allow server remotely stop programs

[sptk2511]

Hey,

So I am building this program to remotely stop a program on a variety of Windows 7 machines connected to a Windows 2008 Server. I want to use WMI objects to do so. I'm tried to query the list of the running processes via

Get-WmiObject -Query

on Powershell but am returned an Access Denied error. Maybe I have to make the remote machines treat the server as an administrator? Any idea how to set that up?

Regards.

You may want to take a look at PsKill - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite that can Kill remote processes.

It should allow you to do what you need without too much additional work

psKill throws an Access denied error. I have enabled remote registry service, and added the "localAccountTokenFilterPolicy" key in the registry of the remote as shown here.

I have tried psList to list the running processes and that too doesn't seem to work.

Gives the following error:

Make sure that the Remote Registry service is running on the remote system, that you have
firewall ports allow RPC access, and your account has read access the following key on the remote system:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib

Enabled remote registry, disabled firewall but don't think I can access the registry key.

I tried

$computer1 = "\\COMP1"
$Reg = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $computer1)
$RegKey= $Reg.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\Current Version\\Perflib")

but that throws a "Requested registry access is not allowed" error.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: finally got pslist to work
