Window Server 2008 Issue

[sasethia]

Hi ,
I am trying to use openThread() to get cpu utilization of an agent from process a .So i just want to check if
its possible ? I am trying to open agent thread from a different process b not from process a.The below code is used for the same


tempTID = kernelTID;
thrdHand=OpenThread(THREAD_QUERY_INFORMATION,FALSE,tempTID);


The above function return error code as 5 ie thrHand is found to be Null.
I dont see any issue on tempTID.


I have all the privileges and rights which allows me to use the above function .

Hi,

Can you post the entire code?

 

[sasethia]

Sorry but as these are confidential data i can post the entire code and also its a huge code too

I don't think you can get the AGENT status from another process.

I don't think you can get the AGENT status from another process.

But the same code was working on window server 2003. Is this a limitation for window 2008

No idea... sorry.

Just to add more on the above topic . I am trying to get cpu utilization of a thread from a different process b not from process a.

It looks like this code doesn't work anymore...

You can use performance counter:

Or you can get it by using WMI:
