Services on remote machines

Would appreciate any help with the following script. The script reads a text
file containing a list of services that I want to change the startup type on.
For example:
alerter,disables. This works fine on the local machine. How do I read in a
list of remote machines along with the list of services.
I want to set the startup type on services of remote servers. Thanks You.

foreach ($service in get-content "V:\Program Files\PowerGUI\my
scripts\windows 2003 elective services.txt") {
$newAry = $service.split(',')
$strsvcs = $newAry[0]
$strtype = $newAry[1]
$chkservice = get-service -name $strsvcs -ErrorAction silentlycontinue
If ( ! $chkservice)
{"not installed"}
Else
{set-service $strsvcs -startuptype $strtype
"$strsvcs is $strtype"}
}

get-service doesnt work remotely.. you need to use .NET or WMI. In your case
I would use WMI.

$service = get-wmiobject win32_service -computer Server1 -filter
"name='<ServiceName>'"
$service.state
