Start time of a process running on remote machine using powershell

Question

I want to get the start time of a process running on remote machine using powershell. On my local computer I get it simply by using get-process $processname | select StartTime get-process $processname | select StartTime .

I tried using get-process $processname -computername $server1 | select StartTime get-process $processname -computername $server1 | select StartTime but this is returning me nothing.

Please suggest any better way.

Answer 1

Using WMI . This code return start time of powershell.exe process:

$a =  gwmi win32_process -computername $server1| ? { $_.name -eq "powershell.exe" }

$a | % { $_.ConvertToDateTime( $_.CreationDate )}

Answer 2

PS> $StartTime= @{n='StartTime';e={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.CreationDate)}}
PS> gwmi win32_process -cn $server1 -filter "Name='$processname' AND CreationDate IS NOT NULL" | select Name,$StartTime
