Start services.msc attached to remote computer

services.msc /computer=Gregg1

I thought this wasn't possible, but after I found this other question & answer it worked wonders for me! They listed the better tool (Computer Management) which shows Event Viewer, Services, Disk Management, Device Manager: compmgmt.msc -a /computer=Gregg1

The -a doesn't appear to be necessary, I am honestly confused what it does even after reading the mmc documentation on it


Start mmc.exe and create a new, custom console that contains the objects you want to use.

You can store these and run them from anywhere as long as they contain remote machine names.
