Need to monitor running processes.
Hello, I have a Windows 2003 R2 x64 SP1 server that runs complex analytical software. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that various users could check the running processes for ALL users. All the engineers that use the rools have a need to check the processes. It appears that only an administrator can do this via the checkbox in Task Manager. I don't want to make everyone an admin, and I don't want everyone logging into the server. Is there a method to export all the running processes on the server to a file? I would like this file to possibly be updated frequently. Or maybe some kind of website that has the active content? I looked at Sysinternals Process Explorer, but didn't see a way to export the info automatically.
Thanks for any help.

Process Explorer didn't get me what I need.
AUtomatically, maybe not, but in combination with a batch file and
Auto-it FREE scripting tool, keyboard macros

you should be able to do this.

What about a script which is executed via Task Scheduler frequently?

JimboEfx, your solution gave me exactly what I needed. I just had to add some users to the Power Users group and then give the PU group rights to the Perflib key in the remote servers registry and now those users can access it from there pc's using pslist.
Thanks to the rest of you for your answers also.

Merowinger,
Not to leave you out, because I know you put together that script, I did try it and couldn't get it to work. I am not a scripter by any means. How would I make that one work? Is it cscript? Do I name it a bat file?
