But not working

Showing error Class 'COM' not found

Please help me for resolved this problem .

AFAIK, `COM` requires PHP 5 and .NET runtime. You got those? PHP 5.6. is at end of life (31 Dec 2018) though... — Alex Karshin, Dec 19 '18 at 07:31

Laravel 5.4 runs on php 5.6.4.

From php 5.4.5 the COM extension is no longer in core PHP by default, so you will have to add it manually.

You can add these two lines to your php.ini file.

[COM_DOT_NET]
extension=php_com_dotnet.dll

You might be able to use shell_exec() to get what you need (note: IUSR might need permissions to directory that the DLL is in).

$processID = shell_exec("C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\assembly\\GAC_MSIL\\EntraPassUtility\\v4.0_1.0.0.2__ecc8607640d67af4\\EntraPassUtility.dll 2>&1 &");
exec('ps ' . $processID, $processState);

Otherwise, here are a few other articles that might be of assistance:
