I am trying to start a service on a remote computer using the following command on the cmdlet:

(Get-WmiObject -computer atl-fs-01 Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Alerter'").InvokeMethod("StartService",$null)

When I run the command I get the error Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)). After some research it appears I need to set my username and password, but I cannot find anything that allows me to set these prior to accessing the remote computer. I also plan on making a script for this so I don’t have to type out everything on the command line. PowerShell code for setting user and password would be helpful as well. Thanks.

    You need to pass in the credential object (created with Get-Credential) using the “-Credential” switch.

    See this MSDN article for more information and an example.
