Thanks and God bless

Dim strComputer As String    
Dim sReturn As String    
Dim strNameOfUser As Variant    
Dim colProcesses As Object    
Dim objProcess As Object    
strComputer = "." '"." local or "\\ComputerName"    
Set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")    
For Each objProcess In colProcesses        
sReturn = objProcess.GetOwner(strNameOfUser)        
If sReturn <> 0 Then            
MsgBox "Could not get owner info for process " & objProcess.Name & vbNewLine & "Error = " & sReturn

Have you tried feeding it the password?

[kulitag]

No, sad say i don't kno how

If you don't know the password, then you shouldn't be accessing the machine in the first place.

i mean is i don't know how to feed the password through that code but i know the password of the pc. i have the access to the pc and i have the administrator account since we are on the development team. i just couldn't get the process on a pc with a password.

anyone please

[kulitag]

i am getting a dead end on this. Is it possible to suppy a password with the above code?

You need to have administrator permissions or it will fail.
See my CodeBank thread on the subject

so i need to log as administrator on my machine or is there anything i need to setup on the remote pc to give me an admistrator account?

[RobDog888]

You need to be in the Administraotrs group on your network.

sorry Rob for being a slow @%%, please bear with me.
now, with regards with the network, we do only have a simple workgroup. How can i set my account as administrator? The account of the pc that i am using is Adminstrator. now i tried to add an account to my remote pc and put the same password as on my pc but to no avail i always get permission denied.

[RobDog888]

No prob I think with a workgroup it will be different as each computer doesnt know what accounts are on the other computers. You may need to create an administrator account on the other system with the same credientials as yours. Then it may carry over but not 100% sure.

[kulitag]

will different os will be an issue? I am having a win2003 and the pc that i am trying to connect is xp. Now, what i did is i used the administrator account on my pc and changed its password with the password of the remote. but to no avail, i got the same error. thanks

[RobDog888]

Hmm, maybe its prefixed with the machine name.

user: \\somemachinename\administrator
pwd: *******

[kulitag]

How will i put that on code|?

[RobDog888]

No, I was just stating that the two accounts may still be seen as different. There is no place for passing logon credentials with WMI in this code. I dont think its possible with a workgroup.

[kulitag]

thanks rob, sad that i can't used it as of now. anyway your code is a beauty though.

[RobDog888]

Thanks but dont give up searching as I may be wrong, it happens from time to time .
