terminate named Win32_Process

[abovetreeline]

Hi,
How to make javascript terminate a win32_process?

vbscript will terminate a named process with the following code:

strcomputer = "."
Set objwmiservice = GetObject("winm gmts:" _
& "{impersonation level=impersona te}!\\"&strcomp uter & "\root\cimv 2")
Set colprocesslist = objwmiservice.e xecquery _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'")
For Each objprocess In colprocesslist
objprocess.term inate()
next

javascript: Here is my best attempt at translating the vbscript into
javascript, but javascript just closes with no error message without
killing the process.

strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService =
GetObject("winm gmts:{impersona tionlevel=imper sonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer + "\\root\\cimv2" );
var colitems = objWMIService.E xecQuery("SELEC T * FROM Win32_Process
WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'") ;
var indexitems;
for (indexitems in colitems){
indexitems.Term inate();
}

Thanks for the help.

I had been searching for the answere all weekend and then I found it
just after posting the question. The answer is the following code. I
was missing enumeration when accessing a collection.

strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService, colitems, e
objWMIService =
GetObject("winm gmts:{impersona tionlevel=imper sonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer + "\\root\\cimv2" );
colitems = objWMIService.E xecQuery("SELEC T * FROM Win32_Process WHERE
name = 'winword.exe'") ;
e = new Enumerator(coli tems);
for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
e.item().Termin ate();
}

JavaScript's for..in does not work as you expect on VB-like collections.
An Enumerator object [1] is your friend:

var strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService = GetObject(
"winmgmts:{impe rsonationlevel= impersonate}!\\ \\" +
strcomputer +
"\\root\\ci mv2"
);
var colitems = new Enumerator(
objWMIService.E xecQuery(
"SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'"
)
);
for (; !colitems.atEnd (); colitems.moveNe xt()) {
colitems.item() .Terminate();
}

You can do it with an Enumerator:

var computer = '.';
var WMIService = GetObject('winm gmts:' +
'{impersonation Level=impersona te}!\\\\' +
computer + '\\root\\cimv2' );
var processList = WMIService.Exec Query('Select * From Win32_Process') ;
WScript.Echo('F ound ' + processList.Cou nt + ' processes.');
var processEnumerat or = new Enumerator(proc essList);
while (!processEnumer ator.atEnd()) {
WScript.Echo(pr ocessEnumerator .item().Name);
processEnumerat or.moveNext();
}

Note that you would better ask such questions in a WSH oder server
scripting group on the MS news server.
