Win32_Process examples–terminate process

Terminating a running process is simply a case of calling the Terminate method:

function remove-proc{

[CmdletBinding()]

param (

[string]$computername = $env:COMPUTERNAME,

[string]$processname

)

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Process -ComputerName $computername -Filter “Name = ‘$processname’” |

Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName Terminate

}

This will terminate all instances of a given process.  If you want to be more selective then change the function to use the process id rather than the process name
