Problem
Often when managing SQL Server you need to review and change Windows process information for SQL Server processes. In this tip I will introduce a few PowerShell cmdlets related to accessing and handling Windows processes and I will explain how to use these Windows PowerShell cmdlets.
Solution
A process, in the simplest terms, is the execution of a program. All Windows processes can be viewed and managed using task manager which can be launched by running the 'taskmgr' cmd. We can run this cmd from either Windows cmd prompt, a PowerShell command prompt or by using Start > Run > and typing taskmgr.
