Working with cmd.exe:

tasklist

If you have Powershell:

get-process

Via WMI:

wmic process

(you can query remote machines as well with /node:ComputerOrIP, and there are a LOT more ways to customize this command: link)

ANSWER 2

Score 92

There is a tool called Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line tool (wmic.exe).

You can call wmic process list to see all processes.

ANSWER 3

I wanted to mention that WMIC (pam's entry) can do a lot more. Have a look at my WMIC snippets page, which is a cheatsheet showing many of the common ways to use WMIC (with sample output shown) here

Tasklist
WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid

 WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt path win32_process get Caption,Processid,Commandline
