Re: Win32_Process CommandLine returning Null

Thanks for the reply Michael. It seems to be a permissions issue. Several
properties come back as Null if the process is running under an account
other than the current user's or SYSTEM.

I noticed that the MSFT iisapp.vbs script asserts the '(debug)' privilege
when doing something similar with WMI. I did this in my application and the
problem went away. Interesting! I can't find any documentation that suggests
this is necessary, or even precisely what it does.
