script to stop processes

[bbolte]

I've had a script running on Win2k server for quite a while, it doesn't seem to function on Win2k3. I'm not sure if it is a permissions issue or differences on platforms. The script basically counts how many processess of a certain app are running and terminates all but 1 one of them. It's a long story of why we are doing this, needless to say, this is the only thing that I could come up with to appease the powers that be.

here is the part that is terminating the process

'// if SARTActive = false, close all but one corel
If SARTActive = False AND intCorelCount > 1 Then
	For Each Process In strObject.InstancesOf("Win32_Process")
	    If UCase(Process.Name) = UCase(strCorelProcess) AND intCorelCount > 1 Then
		intCorelCount = intCorelCount - 1
		Process.Terminate
	    End If
	Next
End If

any thoughts why this won't kill the strCorelProcess?

i should note that we have this script schedule to run as a task throughout the day.
