Stopping Processes - Permission Errors

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I need to stop a set of processes periodically. The snippet of code that I'm
using to try and kill the processes is:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" &
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & cComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process
Where Name = '" & strProcessName & "'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
RetVal = objProcess.Terminate()

I am an administrator on the server. When I try to run the script, it will
kill some of the desired processes, but others I get permission denied. I
can go into Task Manager and kill the processes with no problem.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Marty
