let me know if i am still not doing the slashes correctly please.
i doubt authentication is the issue.; i can get pid information using
WQL queries.
objCreateProc.Create expects 4 strings (not objects?), right?
Invoking a method isn't as easy as that, I'm afraid. At
the risk of being boring, can I ask again why you aren't
using the wmi module, which solves these problems for
you?

In short you want to do something like this:
(simplified for testing purposes to use the local machine)

<code>
import win32com.client

wmi = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts:")
win32_process = wmi.Get ("Win32_Process")
in_parameters = win32_process.Methods_ ("Create").InParameters
in_parameters.Properties_ ('CommandLine').Value = "notepad.exe"
result = win32_process.ExecMethod_ ("Create", in_parameters)

</code>

Good point, I would like just to add this:
wmi = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts:\\\\username:passw...@host\
\root\\cimv2")
and it is perfect :)

I wasn't aware of that form of moniker construction
(ie with the username / password embedded) and on
an XP-to-2k3 link it doesn't seem to work. Is it a
Vista / 2k8 extension? Obviously, above, I was relying
on the fact that the default default namespace (as opposed
to the DEFAULT namespace ;) ) is root\cimv2.
