Hi

Powershell is able to execute that string to get a process on a remote server:
get-process "chromedriver" -computername "didbnt12.zg.ch"

Somehow, VisualCron is not able to execute it:

ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualCron\\TaskPowerShellx86.exe" 20145)->System.Management.Automation.PSArgumentException: Cannot process argument because the value of argument "name" is invalid. Change the value of the "name" argument and run the operation again.
at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.CommandParameter..ctor(String name, Object value)
at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.CommandParameterCollection.Add(String name, Object value)
at TaskPowerShell.PowerShellTaskClass.Run(ProcessPowerShellTaskInfoClass ti, StringBuilder& sbResultObject)
Exception in Task: ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualCron\\TaskPowerShellx86.exe" 20145)->System.Management.Automation.PSArgumentException: Cannot process argument because the value of argument "name" is invalid. Change the value of the "name" argument and run the operation again.
at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.CommandParameter..ctor(String name, Object value)
at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.CommandParameterCollection.Add(String name, Object value)
at TaskPowerShell.PowerShellTaskClass.Run(ProcessPowerShellTaskInfoClass ti, StringBuilder& sbResultObject)


Is there someone that can help?

Regards Dominic

Probably, the computer name is wrong or cannot be resolved. Try first using the local ip. If it a remote process you need to select Credential as well but please use the IP to be sure.

Hi

The Skript doesn't even work locally without credentials:
get-process "OracleVssWriterZGGEOPRD" -computername "IP-Adress"

or

get-process "OracleVssWriterZGGEOPRD" -computername "localhost"

or only
get-process "OracleVssWriterZGGEOPRD"


ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualCron\\TaskPowerShellx86.exe" 20439)->System.Management.Automation.PSArgumentException: Cannot process argument because the value of argument "name" is invalid. Change the value of the "name" argument and run the operation again.

I got this working with default settings (if you create a new powershell Task without Credentials):

get-process "visualcronservice" -computername "sandbox"

sandbox is my computername.

I got it working because I changed the scope from remote to lokal.

Since I'm able now to GET a service, I want to kill it with:

{$process=Get-Process chromedriver -computername "didbnt12.zg.ch"; $process.Kill();}

I'm getting a SUCCESS but the service is still running.
So I guess the killing part doesn't work.
Do I have to write it differently?

The account I'm using is in the group "Adminstrators" on that remote server.

Can you help?

I do not know about Kill() but you can use Stop-Process:

Get-Process program.exe | Stop-Process
