Using The "winmgmts" (WMI) Object? (JScript)

I can’t figure out how to use the winmgmts object in JavaScript/JScript.

Here is how I used it in VBScript:

[code]set wmi = getobject(“winmgmts:”)
set cmd = wmi.execquery(“select * from Win32_Process where name = ‘cmd.exe'”)

for each process in cmd
process.terminate
next[/code]

That code will kill CMD just fine, but I tried to duplicate it in JavaScript/JScript and it didn’t work. Here is what I used:

[code]var wmi = GetObject(“winmgmts:”);
var cmd = wmi.execquery(“select * from Win32_Process where name = ‘cmd.exe'”);

for (process in cmd) {
process.terminate();
}[/code]

It gave me no errors but did not close CMD.

I can’t find this answer ANYWHERE on the internet, so if anyone knows it PLEASE tell me.

@klanga2049Sep 07.2011 — VBS collections != JS arrays. You have to use Enumerator to use collections in JScript. Also, I think execquery -> ExecQuery.

Success!
