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);
