Remotely get the start time of a process through Powershell
Hi peter_s,
To remotely retrieve the start time of a process using PowerShell, you can utilize the Invoke-Command cmdlet. When running the Get-Process command remotely, the StartTime property may not be available by default. you can try this code:$computerName = "myComputer"
$processName = "myProcess"$startTime = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -ScriptBlock {
param($procName)
Get-Process -Name $procName | Select-Object -ExpandProperty StartTime
} -ArgumentList $processNameWrite-Host "Start Time: $startTime"
In this code, the Invoke-Commandis used to run the Get-Process command remotely on the specified $computerName. The script retrieves the process using the provided $processName parameter and selects the StartTime property. Finally, the start time is stored in the $startTime variable and displayed.

- Okay got it! I was missing computer name and just found out that the process name is case sensitive
invoke-command -computerName myServer -ScriptBlock {Get-Process -name myProcess | select name, id, starttime }
