I came across this one liner that appears to work:
stop-service -inputobject $(get-service -ComputerName remotePC -Name Spooler) Can anyone explain why, because I thought stop-service didn't work unless you either used remoting or it occurred on the local host.

Method 3: Using PowerShell Get-Service -ComputerName computername -Name servicename | Restart-Service -Force. Get-Service -ComputerName computername -Name servicename | Stop-Service -Force.
Getting Remote Services With Windows PowerShell, you can use the ComputerName parameter of the Get-Service cmdlet to get the services on remote computers. The ComputerName parameter accepts multiple values and wildcard characters, so you can get the services on multiple computers with a single command.
The output of Get-Service is a System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController .NET class that can operate on remote computers. How it accomplishes that, I don't know - probably DCOM or WMI. Once you've gotten one of these from Get-Service, it can be passed into Stop-Service which most likely just calls the Stop() method on this object. That stops the service on the remote machine. In fact, you could probably do this as well:
(get-service -ComputerName remotePC -Name Spooler).Stop() If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
