I tried to get some information about Process Owner, using WMI. I tried to run this script:
import win32com.client
process_wmi = set()
strComputer = "."
objWMIService = win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
objSWbemServices = objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\cimv2")
process_list = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
for process in process:
owner = process.GetOwner
if owner != 0:
print('Access denied')
else:
print('process: ',process.Name, 'PID: ', process.ProcessId, 'Owner: ', owner)
Of course, i get owner = 0 (Successful Completion)
When I tried to call process.GetOwner()
, I get this error: TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
How to use this method without errors? With what parameters or with what flags maybe?
I try to actualize and use this method, here, but I can't convert code to my situation and get Process Owner. =(
Or may be someone know another method, how to get information about process owner. May be with WinApi methods?
Thank you for help!
I would suggest using the psutil
library. I was using the winapi, and wmi, but it's terribly slow :( psutil
is much, much faster and gives you a convenient API for working with processes.
You can achieve the same thing like this:
import psutil
for process in psutil.get_process_list():
try:
print('Process: %s, PID: %s, Owner: %s' % (process.name, process.pid,
process.username))
except psutil.AccessDenied:
print('Access denied!')
And because only the username can give you Access denied you can in except
do:
except psutil.AccessDenied:
print('Process: %s, PID: %s, Owner: DENIED' % (process.name, process.pid)
If you can use only pywin32 and wmi then this will work:
import wmi
for i in wmi.WMI().Win32_Process():
print('%s, %s, %s' % (i.Name, i.ProcessId, i.GetOwner()[2]))
The type error is because process_list from your code is an "unknown" COM object. Try this:
import win32com
from win32com.client import GetObject
wmi = win32com.client.GetObject("winmgmts:")
wmi = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch(wmi._oleobj_)
#Now execute your query
process = wmi.ExecQuery('select * from Win32_Process')
proc = process[0]
#Now I can do things like check properties
print proc.Properties_('ProcessId').Value
#Or use methods
parms = proc.ExecMethod_('GetOwner')
#Now I can do things with parms like
username = parms.Properties_('User').Value
Parms will be a com object of type SWbemObject just like process and proc are. It has other properties as well: return value and domain. I can poll it just like I did above for getting User from parms. Hope this helps.
Sorry, adding after the fact:
the properties for parms in the code above specifically are User, Domain, and ReturnValue
