wmic: Getting process (and arguments!) in a remote server

wmic can be very convenient to obtain information about the processes running on a remote server.

I downloaded a VM from dev.modern.ie/tools/vms for testing. (It's valid only for 30 days and doesn't permit to be licensed!) and have been testing it.

A curious question came in - how to find remote processes in a windows PC using wmic? How will you get the complete arguments?

C:\>wmic /node:ie8winxp /user:IE8WINXP\Administrator /password:Passw0rd! /output:stdout process list /format:htable " > c:\temp.html
"

Note that the redirection above will be to local desktop's c:\temp.html, not remote c:\temp.html

If you wish to redirect to an internal file in the remote PC, you can simply save the command in the remote host and call it.

Sample: 

Save the below as a file, say c:\temp\1.bat

wmic process list /format:htable > c:\temp.html

Call it using :

C:\>wmic /node:ie8winxp /user:IE8WINXP\Administrator /password:Passw0rd! process call create "C:\temp\1.bat"
