Scripts and command-line how-to and tips

You can view a list of running tasks simply by typing tasklist at the command prompt. As with many other command-line utilities, Tasklist runs by default with the permissions of the currently logged on user and you can also specify the remote computer whose tasks you want to query, and the Run As permissions.

To do this, use the expanded syntax, which includes the
following parameters:

/s Computer /u [Domain\]User [/p Password]

where Computer is the remote computer name or IP address, Domain is the optional domain name in which the user account is located, User is the name of
the user account whose permissions you want to use, and Password is the optional password for the user account.

If you don’t specify the domain, the current domain is assumed. If you don’t provide the account password, you are prompted for the password.
