title: Remotely starting and stopping a service on a W2008 server
body: <p>I'm having an amazing amount of trouble starting and stopping a service on my remote server from my msbuild script.</p>
  
  <p>SC.EXE and the ServiceController MSBuild task don't provide switches to allow a username/password so they won't authenticate, so I'm using RemoteService.exe from www.intelliadmin.com</p>
  
  <p>-Authenticating with \xx.xx.xx.xxx
  -Authentication complete
  -Stopping service
  -Error: Access Denied</p>
  
  <p>The user account details I'm specifying are for a local admin on the server, so whats up?! I'm tearing my hair out!</p>
  
  <h3>Update:</h3>
  
  <p>OK here's a bit more background. I have an an XP machine in the office running the CI server. The build script connects a VPN to the datacentre, where I have a Server 2008 machine. Neither of them are on a domain.</p>
