Use Get-WMIObject to find Open Handles

[jmedd]

Anyone know if it is possible to use WMI to query the handles associated with
a process, i.e. in a similar way to the sysinternals 'handle' tool?

Win32_Process only gives you Total Number of Open Handles (Handlecount).

Thanks

Win32_Process only seems to offer the total number of open handles
(handlecount).

Probably not, but some WMI answers can also depend on what exact OS (and
SP/release, etc) you are referring to...

OK, I thought that might be the case. Just in case the OS in question would
be Windows 2003 R2 SP1.

I don't have access to this OS, but if you can't find something relevant
on Server 2008 and/or Vista, then you won't likely find it in 2003.

I might recommend considering using WinRM and using handle.exe...

Can't see any specific WMI classes for dealing with handles either
