title: Using Powershell to stop a service remotely without WMI or remoting
body: <p>I came across this one liner that appears to work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>stop-service -inputobject $(get-service -ComputerName remotePC -Name Spooler)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain why, because I thought stop-service didn't work unless you either used remoting or it occurred on the local host.</p>
