I am trying to restart a service on a remote machine through C#. I am an administrator for that machine and can control the service on the remote pc though the "Services" app in the Administator Tools on my pc. I have also added ASPNET as an administrator to the remote machine (just for testing purposes). I can view all of the services on the remote machine with my C# program, but when I try and start or stop a service, I get an error stating the service was not found even though it exists on the machine and is displayed through ServiceController.GetServices('remote-pc'). I was wondering if there is any security or permission issues that I need to be concerned with. My local pc is running XP pro and the remote pc is running NT.

Note: This code works flawlessly on my local machine.
I am using the code that was cut and pasted from http://www.aspemporium.com/aspEmporium/cshrp/howtos/howto.asp?hid=7

Exception that is received:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.serviceprocess.dll

Additional information: Service myservice was not found on computer 'remote-pc'.

This exception shows up even though I know the service (not misspelled) exists on the remote pc (not misspelled). Does anyone know why this would be happening? Any help is appreciated!
