How to remotely restart Windows service with Powershell

In case if you need to remotely restart Windows service, here is my Powershell script.

As soon as we have ICMP/ping disabled between our development environments, I've used WMI pings to determine, if remote machine is running.


$pc = Get-ADComputer -filter *

$pc | %{
    $ping = $(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PingStatus -Filter "Address='$($_.name)' AND Timeout=1000").statuscode;
    if ( $ping -eq 0 )
        {
            $service = Get-Service -Name "WindowsAzureGuestAgent" -ComputerName $_.Name
            Restart-Service -InputObject $service -Verbose 
        }
}
