Hi,

I am trying to use kill.exe, a MS resource kit tool on a Windows 2000 server
SP4.


Z:\pstools\kill>kill -f bengine.exe
process bengine.exe (2636) - '' could not be killed

Any ideas why MS Kill tools is not working?


Thank you,

Chris
 
I lied. PID or a wildcard. Sorry.

Is it a system process? Do you have the rights to terminate it? Is it a
service that has dependencies maybe?

I tried also with its PID and get same results.

I am having AD domain administrator rights which is in local administrators
group.

Thank you,

Chris
 
It likely has dependencies which you will need to stop first if you can. Use depends to see what they might be. Or find where it is being called remove the calle from calling. Reboot.
