How can I get an exit code from WMI spun remote process

I'm executing a process remotely via WMI (Win32_Pro开发者_如何学Gocess Create) but am unable to figure out how I can determine when the process has completed executing. When I first issue the command, there is an exit code (0 for success) but that just tells me the process has been successfully spawned.

Is there a way I can know when the process ends? Thanks!

Faced same issue and wrote a simple VMI wrapper:

var exitStatus = WmiOperations.Run("notepad.exe", wait:10);

Synopsis for Run is:

int Run(string command, // Required
        string commandline = null, // (default=none)
        string machine = null, // (default=local)
        string domain = null, // (default=current user domain)
        string username = null, // (default=current user login)
        string password = null, // (default=current user password)
        SecureString securePassword = null, // (default=current user password)
        double wait = double.PositiveInfinity); // (default=wait til command ends);

Source code can be downloaded from here.

Give caesar his due, code is inspired from this one. Simply:

• Refactored things to static class
• Added more control on remoting parameters
• Redesigned event watcher to suppress the unappealing CheckProcess test

Here is an example create on the top of .NET objects but written in Powershell, it's easy to translate it to C#

Clear-Host

# Authentication object
$ConOptions = New-Object System.Management.ConnectionOptions
$ConOptions.Username = "socite\administrateur"
$ConOptions.Password = "adm"
$ConOptions.EnablePrivileges = $true
$ConOptions.Impersonation = "Impersonate"
$ConOptions.Authentication = "Default"

$scope = New-Object System.Management.ManagementScope("\\192.168.183.220\root\cimV2", $ConOptions)

$ObjectGetOptions = New-Object System.Management.ObjectGetOptions($null, [System.TimeSpan]::MaxValue, $true)

# Equivalent to local :
# $proc = [wmiclass]"\\.\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Process"
$proc = New-Object System.Management.ManagementClass($scope, "\\192.168.183.220\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Process", $ObjectGetOptions)

# Now create the process remotly
$res = $proc.Create("cmd.exe")

# Now create an event to detect remote death
$timespan = New-Object System.TimeSpan(0, 0, 1)
$querryString = "SELECT * From WIN32_ProcessStopTrace WHERE ProcessID=$($res.ProcessID)"
$query = New-Object System.Management.WQLEventQuery ($querryString)

$watcher = New-Object System.Management.ManagementEventWatcher($scope, $query)

$b = $watcher.WaitForNextEvent()
$b
