Powershell script to change service account

Question

Does anyone have a Powershell script to change the credentials used by a Windows service?

Answer 1

Bit easier - use WMI.

$service = gwmi win32_service -computer [computername] -filter "name='whatever'"
$service.change($null,$null,$null,$null,$null,$null,$null,"P@ssw0rd")

Change the service name appropriately in the filter; set the remote computer name appropriately.
