Hmm .. well, what I trying to solve is this: we have software that is installed into 2 different folders - Live and Training. It's the same executable name, it's just that each one points to a different database.
So filtering for just the exe name brings me info on both Live and Training. And I only want Live ... So filtering this way gives me \Live\This.exe as well as \Training\this.exe On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 12:41 PM, Daniel Ratliff <dratl...@humana.com> wrote: > This works. > > Get-WmiObject -class win32_process -filter "ExecutablePath like '%calc.exe'" > > It seems like a limitation of that class and the Path and ExecutablePath > properties.
