end process running under localsystem

[Andy]

How can I end a process that is running under the localsystem login?
I need to restart a service that is stuck on 'stopping'.
Can't restart server due to user impact.

TIA,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Did you already try Kill.exe? If not try this first.
If this ain't working try to end the task Using the system account, this is
how:
In your command prompt type "at (time + 1 minute) /i cmd.exe" after a minute
there will be another command prompt running with the system account
credentials. Type taskmgr in the new prompt and try to end the task.
I'll hope this will help you.

Good luck,

I haven't got kill.exe, so I tried the 2nd option. Great stuff, worked
like a charm!!

Thanks,

Andy
