Hello,

$services = Get-WmiObject win32_Service | Select-Object -Property Name,DisplayName,ProcessID

$services #would give the Name DisplayName(for ease) and Process ID.
and

$services[0..9] gives first ten services.

Hope it helps!

Regards

how can i add the result that i get from foreach to an array

ProcessID are not unique. 

$RunningServices = @()

$WIN32Services = Get-WMIObject -Class WIN32_Service
ForEach ($WIN32Service in $WIN32Services) 
{
   IF ($Win32Service.ProcessID -NE 0) 
   {
       $RunningServices += $Win32Service
   }
}
$RunningServices.Count

82

$services = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service

# Option 1
$array = $services.ProcessId

# Option 2
$array = foreach ($service in $services) {
    $service.ProcessId
}

# Option 3
$array = @()
foreach ($service in $services) {
    $array += $service.ProcessId
}

$services = @()

gwmi win32_Service | % {$services += $_.ProcessId}

Why would anyone do this?  What is the purpose or requirement?

Easiest method to get an array of any property of a collection:

$pids=(gwmi win32_service ).processid

Hi,

• For getting Service Name, ProcessID and State. Use below script which displays these details in Format-Table for services which are running

$PIDArray=Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service|select name, ProcessID, State |Where-Object {$_.State -eq "Running"}
$PIDArray| Format-Table

• To get the PID alone use below script.

$PIDArray=Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service|select name, ProcessID, State |Where-Object {$_.State -eq "Running"}
$PIDArray.processID
