Windows Hosting Script Error

Hi, I'm running the following script on Windows 2000 Advanced Server:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_Process")

Error = objWMIService.Create("mservrs.exe", null, null, intProcessID)
If Error = 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "MServer was started with a process ID of " _
& intProcessID & "."
Else
Wscript.Echo "MServer could not be started due to error " & _
Error & "."
End If

When it runs, I get :"Mserver cound not be started due to error 9"

I use this same script to stop this process and it works fine:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'mservrs.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
I'm using WSH 5.5. What is an error 9? Thanks. Deb

please give a few comments what you want to do.

I'm trying to automate the starting of a process. The bottom script which works terminates a process called 'mservrs.exe'. I need to be able to start the same process in an automated fashion.

and it cannot be the missing path in "mservrs.exe"...?
