Mastering the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. The Windows 2003 Resource Kit is by far the most underutilized arsenal I have seen in my work as a Manager. I see many Administrators doing tasks or not having solutions for tasks that are totally provided with this toolkit. In the next series of articles I present, we shall cover the Windows 2003.

Introduction

Windows NT/2000 does not come with a command-line 'kill' utility. Youcan get one in the Windows NT or Win2K Resource Kit, but the kit'sutility can only terminate processes on the local computer. PsKill isa kill utility that not only does what the Resource Kit's version does,but can also kill processes on remote systems. You don't even have toinstall a client on the target computer to use PsKill to terminate aremote process.

Installation

Just copy PsKill onto your executable path, and type pskill withcommand-line options defined below.

Using PsKill

See the September 2004 issue of Windows IT Pro Magazine for Mark'sarticlethat covers advanced usage of PsKill.

Running PsKill with a process ID directs it to kill the process ofthat ID on the local computer. If you specify a process name PsKillwill kill all processes that have that name.

Usage: pskill [- ] [-t] [computer [-u username] [-ppassword]] <process name process id>

Parameter	Description
-	Displays the supported options.
-t	Kill the process and its descendants.
computer	Specifies the computer on which the process you want to terminate is executing. The remote computer must be accessible via the NT network neighborhood.
-u username	If you want to kill a process on a remote system and the account you are executing in does not have administrative privileges on the remote system then you must login as an administrator using this command-line option. If you do not include the password with the -p option then PsKill will prompt you for the password without echoing your input to the display.
-p password	This option lets you specify the login password on the command line so that you can use PsList from batch files. If you specify an account name and omit the -p option PsList prompts you interactively for a password.
process id	Specifies the process ID of the process you want to kill.
process name	Specifies the process name of the process or processes you want to kill.
