    Please help. See below <Password>. I want to pass only encrypted password only. How to achieve this?

    sServer = "<RemoreServerName>"    


    Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")

    Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(sServer, "root\cimv2", "<UserName>", "<Password>")

    Set objProcess = objSWbemServices.Get("Win32_Process")

    errReturn = objProcess.Create("C:\Scripts\test1.bat", Null, Null, intProcessID) 

    If errReturn <> 0 Then
      msgbox "It could not be started due to error: " & errReturn
    End If

    You can't.  It takes a plain text password.  Paswords are passed encrypted if teh conenction supports encryption but you must start with a plain text password.

    You can use Get-WmiObject in PowerShell and pass credentials.

    Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -computer $server -credential $cred

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Can you rephrase your last question? I don't understand it.
