Is this a bug? Start-Service | stop-Service

hello,

i ran interesting problem when stopping service on remote computer. 

get-service -name healthservice     # returns local healthservice, happily running    get-service -name healthservice -computername othercomputer    #this returns remote service running    get-service -name healthservice -computername othercomputer | stop-service    #this doesn't return errors    get-service -name healthservice -computername othercomputer    # returns remote service still listed running    get-service -name healthservice    #this returns local healthservice stopped

hope helps! jason

yes, you'd need wmi.

stop-service not have computername parameter (even in v3)

try this:

$wmiobject = @{     class = "win32_service"     computername = $computer     filter = "name='healthservice'" } (get-wmiobject @wmiobject).stopservice() |out-null
