So basically, all I want to do is execute an “sc” command on 100 servers whose names are mentioned in a text file “server.txt”. I tried the following and it doesnt work as it returns empty notepad file.

for /f %%a in (servers.txt) do sc \\server_name query | find "SERVICE_NAME">>servicecontroller.txt

I tried the above command locally and it worked just fine. I know the issue is in the “\server_name”. Not sure what about it is wrong. Do i need to use the hidden shares?
Like this maybe?

\\server_name\c$ /user:domain\username password

Or like this? 

 \\server_name\c$

    If you’ve hardcoded \\server_name there rather than %%a, then that’s your problem. Try this instead:

    for /f %%a in (servers.txt) do sc \\%a query | find "SERVICE_NAME">>servicescontroller.txt

    EDIT :
    The following line helps in getting admin access consistently on all the servers. This is the line I(OP) was looking for.

    net use \\servername\ipc$ /u:domain\user password
