terminate named Win32_Process

[abovetreeline]

Hi,
How to make javascript terminate a win32_process?

vbscript will terminate a named process with the following code:

strcomputer = "."
Set objwmiservice = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\"&strcomputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colprocesslist = objwmiservice.execquery _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'")
For Each objprocess In colprocesslist
objprocess.terminate()
next

Javascript: Here is my best attempt at translating the vbscript into
javascript, but javascript just closes with no error message without
killing the process.

strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer + "\\root\\cimv2");
var colitems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process
WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'");
var indexitems;
for (indexitems in colitems){
indexitems.Terminate();
}

Thanks for the help.

I had been searching for the answere all weekend and then I found it
just after posting the question. The answer is the following code. I
was missing enumeration when accessing a collection.

strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService, colitems, e
objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer + "\\root\\cimv2");
colitems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE
name = 'winword.exe'");
e = new Enumerator(colitems);
for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
e.item().Terminate();
}

JavaScript's for..in does not work as you expect on VB-like collections.
An Enumerator object [1] is your friend:

var strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService = GetObject(
"winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer +
"\\root\\cimv2"
);
var colitems = new Enumerator(
objWMIService.ExecQuery(
"SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'"
)
);
for (; !colitems.atEnd(); colitems.moveNext()) {
colitems.item().Terminate();
}

strcomputer = "."
var objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +
strcomputer + "\\root\\cimv2");
var colitems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process
WHERE Name = 'winword.exe'");
var indexitems;
for (indexitems in colitems){
indexitems.Terminate();
}

You can do it with an Enumerator:

var computer = '.';
var WMIService = GetObject('winmgmts:' +
'{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\' +
computer + '\\root\\cimv2');
var processList = WMIService.ExecQuery('Select * From Win32_Process');
WScript.Echo('Found ' + processList.Count + ' processes.');
var processEnumerator = new Enumerator(processList);
while (!processEnumerator.atEnd()) {
WScript.Echo(processEnumerator.item().Name);
processEnumerator.moveNext();
}

Note that you would better ask such questions in a WSH oder server
scripting group on the MS news server.
