Question

I want to get the start time of a process running on remote machine using powershell.
On my local computer I get it simply by using get-process $processname | select StartTime.

I tried using get-process $processname -computername $server1 | select StartTime but this is returning me nothing.

Please suggest any better way.

Using WMI. This code return start time of powershell.exe process:

$a =  gwmi win32_process -computername $server1| ? { $_.name -eq "powershell.exe" }

$a | % { $_.ConvertToDateTime( $_.CreationDate )}
