Process Control Tool Cannot Detect all Processes (277706)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
This article was previously published under Q277706 SYMPTOMS
When you run the Process Control tool, some processes that are currently running on the computer are not viewable.
CAUSE
This issue can occur because the Process Control tool cannot detect processes that run under a different security context than Local System. Even though all system processes are visible in Task Manager and Performance Monitor, the Process Control tool is unable to detect or manage the processes.
RESOLUTION
To workaround this behavior and enable the processes to be managed, even though Process Control is unable to "see" the program, perform the following steps:
- Create an alias set to match the executable program that you want to manage and match it based on Image Name.
- Create a process execution rule to manage the process that matches the alias that you just created.
- Run the executable program and ensure that it now is displayed as managed in the Process list. It should not display any properties, except that it is managed.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
