Powershell remote access denied

I am trying to start a service on a remote computer using the following command on the cmdlet:

(Get-WmiObject -computer atl-fs-01 Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Alerter'").InvokeMethod("StartService",$null)

When I run the command I get the error Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)). After some research it appears I need to set my username and password, but I cannot find anything that allows me to set these prior to accessing the remote computer. I also plan on making a script for this so I don't have to type out everything on the command line. PowerShell code for setting user and password would be helpful as well. Thanks.

Chapter 13 (page 502) of Bruce Payette's (UTTERLY AWESOME) "Windows Powershell in Action, Second Edition" comprehensively covers configuration of remote Powershell admin. If you've not already asked Santa for a copy of this wonderful book, DO SO NOW! :)

In case you are in a hurry:

MSDN (and other sources) have some good documentation on how to

  1. Enable remoting to a remote server
  2. Connect from your local server to your remote server & execute commands

HTH.

You need to pass in the credential object (created with Get-Credential) using the "-Credential" switch.

See this MSDN article for more information and an example.
