Process Priority through VBS - 9/17/2007 7:56:01 AM

Status: offline 		I am trying to use the basic script designed to change the priority level on running processes, but it fails to do anything to the particular executable I am targeting.  It is a scanning prog created internally where I work to create a report of installed software, service status, etc....

The below script works fine on notepad, and many other processes, but not this particular one.  The process in question has an executable that installs into the system32 folder, but has no unusual permissions. help anyone?

Const BELOW_NORMAL = 16384
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
   ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'srvany.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcesses
   objProcess.SetPriority(BELOW_NORMAL)
Next

Status: offline 		srvany.exe is a resource kit tool. It allows you to start any application as a service. It does not control the application after it is launched. So setting the priority on this executable won't do anything even if it did work. Look here and look at the registry key to expose the application that is being launched. That is the exe that you want to change the priority on.
