Hey all, So I have a Windows 2008 server (32 Bit) and I'm trying to run Tasklist from the command prompt. When I do so, I recieve the "ERROR: Not Found" error. If I run it with the "?" flag then I do get the help file. I have done some searching but haven't found any solutions that work. I just finished running a check disk, which was the last option that I saw. I also restored the files from a different server that is working but it still isn't. I have reviewed my eventlogs but don't see any that might be associated with this issue. I just don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions?? Thanks...

Hi, > So I have a Windows 2008 server (32 Bit) and I'm trying to run Tasklist from the command prompt. When I > do so, I recieve the "ERROR: Not Found" error Which user context did you run command prompt, administrator or normal users? Have you tried to run it with elevated command prompt? Since you run Windows 2008 Server, you can find tasklist.exe in location %windir%\system32\tasklist.exe Run command prompt with elevated privilege, and change command execute path to %windir%\system32\, then run tasklist.exe and check the result. Also please check whether you can run taskkill.exe command? Test that and give us feedback for further troubleshooting. For more information please refer to following MS articles: Tasklist http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491010.aspx Cannot Use Tasklist.exe Error: Not Found http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/5da0e28e-24fb-4223-a548-372623f9b723 Hope this helps!

Hey Lawrence, I ran through all of the items that you had. I think I tracked down the issue to be something with the WMI. After running some diags on that it reported a number of issues. I tried all the fixes for the WMI and my error message changed however I wasn't able to get it fixed. So, I ended up creating a new HyperV server and migrated all the data and services over. It is always a pain to re-image a server but the backup solution we have requires that these work so I didn't really have any choice. Thanks for the suggestions though. Does anyone know how to close and issue without marking something as an answer as there isn't a resolution to this problem?

Hello Charles, I suggest you use WMI Diagnosis Utility http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff404265.aspx to fix WMI errors, if any ?Try to login into the server with safe mode(F8) and run a command tasklist or tasklist /?Still problem persists, please post unedited command prompt output when you run tasklist or tasklist /? commands.
