WMI Process Iterator- won't accept variable for string matching

Hiya gents.

Trying to set up a process kill function. We have different classes of servers that run different processes that we try to gently close. But sometimes we need more oomph to shut them down…

Anyways I’m trying to create this action list using the WMI process iterator function, and when I use a variable to set the string matching field it doesn’t work. If I type the exact same value into the field- it finds my processes.

Let me know if you need further info.

Hi Owen,

It appears the field is not being expanded. My understanding of this is that a search string could represent the variable syntax. My suggestion would be to set the action string matching value in a script. The script will expand the variable value as you desire.
