I need to access a computer on my network task manager.

What is the best way to access the task managers on a remote computer that is locked by the user that is logged on.

My aim is to close a application which the user have open.

Thanks!

Remote Task Manager® (RTM) is a systems control interface that can be run from any remote Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows Server 2003 computer. This enables a Systems Administrator to control most aspects of a remote environment. The simple-to-use, tabbed interface separates applications, services, devices, processes, events, shared resources and performance monitor, making each of these very easy to control. A Systems Administrator can start or stop services or devices, add new services or devices, manage the run level and adjust the security (permissions, auditing and owner). The Process Function and the Task Manager allows remote termination and adjusting of priority. An Event Viewer lets the Administrator view all events as though they were being run on the host computer. The Performance Monitor displays a dynamic overview of the computer's performance (CPU and memory usage). RTM even supports remote installs, enabling a Systems Administrator to set up a service on remote machines without ever having to physically go to them. RTM adds the ability to lock/shutdown/reboot and to create processes on remote computers.

Yes, but that program COSTS MONEY. PSKILL and PSLIST are both scriptable and FREE.

Leew, you are totally correct. I didn't think about those, although we use them too. Silly me 8/

jvuz: Thanks for you suggestion of Remote Task Manager® (RTM). I tried this program before I posted the question but it failed to run on my computer. the application installed fine but it did not want to execute for some strange reason.
