The Windows NT Resource Kits, both NT4 and Windows 2000 Professional, include a remote kill process commandline utility rkill.exe . To be able to kill a process or processes running on a remote server, you must have admin privileges and the rkillsrv.exe service must be installed and running. There is also a gui version of the client tool, wrkill.

Examples of commandline syntax :

rkill view \\servername

to get the process list on servername


kill \\servername pid

to kill process pid on servername


nkill \\servername process.exe

to kill a process by name on servername
