A: The script below checks for a given process and reports if it’s running by scanning through all running processes.

Replace the procName “winword.exe” with the image you wish to check for and replace the logic if the process is found with your own requirements.

set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts:")

foundProc = False

procName = "winword.exe"

procNameFriend = "Word"

for each Process in objWMIService.InstancesOf ("Win32_Process")

    If StrComp(Process.Name,procName,vbTextCompare) = 0 then

        foundProc = true

    End If

Next

If foundProc = True Then

    WScript.Echo "Found Process"

End If
