    I have 15 services across 3 servers that I have to stop in a specific order and start in a specific order.

    Here is what I have so far..

    $services = Import-Csv "aspect_services.csv"
    foreach($entry in $services) {
        $server = $entry.Server
        $service = $entry.service
        C:\Users\davidf\Downloads\SysinternalsSuite\psexec.exe \\$Server net stop $service
    }

    Instead I'd like to do something with the Get-Service command.  Can I run a Get-Service on a remote machine?  How?  I'd like to get the status of the service and if it isn't stopped then try to stop it.

    Limited to PowerShell v1 or can you use v2?  Just asking, chances are it is v1, and you won't be able to use Get-Service to do stuff remotely.  Do you know if you can use WMI to connect to remote machines.

    Hi,

     

    The following article may help:

     

    How Can I Use Windows PowerShell to Start a Service on a Remote Computer?

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jun06/hey0621.mspx

     

    If you’re using V2, try to run "get-help About_Remoting" to get detailed information about remoting.

     

    Thanks.
