Who never had the situation,  for example, one or more processes of a user must be stopped. Currently, this can be done remotely by an administrator without having to switch to the user’s computer.

$computerNameSelect = “audain.net”
Get-Process -computerName $ComputerNameSelect

$KillProcess = “Notepad.exe”
