No Formatting. But this will help.

$varService=Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "name = 'ServiceName'"
$PROCESSPIDs = $varService.ProcessID
Get-Process -Id $PROCESSPIDs | select CPU, WS

Hi and thanks

I have an issue (find below)

Get-Process : Impossible de lier l’argument au paramètre « Id », car il a la valeur Null.
Au caractère Ligne:4 : 17

  • Get-Process -Id $PROCESSPIDs | select CPU, WS
  •             ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : InvalidData : (:slight_smile: [Get-Process], ParameterBindingValidationException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetProcessC
      ommand

Do i just have to replace “name = ‘ServiceName’” for it works??
thanks

Of course. Name = ServiceName is generic. You have to replace it with the name of service, you are seeking information for. In your case it is “vstskmgr”

Since it says that the “Id” value is Null, it means that the $PROCESSPIDs variable is empty/null.

So if you run the first line, then just output the variable contents.
Does it list any information?

E.g.

$varService=Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "name = 'vstskmgr'"

$varService

You can get a list of services dynamically and avoid typos and the like.

# Present a list of services to select one
$ServiceName = (Get-Service) | Out-GridView -Title 'Select a service to monitor' -PassThru

# use the selected service and show the target information
$varService = Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "name = '$($ServiceName.Name)'"
$PROCESSPIDs = $varService.ProcessID
Get-Process -Id $PROCESSPIDs | select CPU, WS

You also turn this into a function with dynamic parameters to select from like the above.
