I will have to do it on around 80 machines. I dont want to do it manually on
each machine. There no such errors on the event viewer. And this problem is
not due to any Virus, Spyware or Adware.

I need the information about all the applications running and status
information (the same as in Windows task manager) using script.

Thank you.
