win32_service InvokeMethod fails. What am I doing wrong?

Hi guys & gals,

When I try to change the properties of a service using InvokeMethod I'm
receiving the error:
Method invocation failed because
[System.Management.ManagementObject#root\cimv2\Win32_Service] doesn't contain
a method named 'invokemethod'.

The code I'm trying to run is:
$svc = Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "name='pla'"
$inParams = $svc.psBase.GetMethodParameters("Change")
$inParams["StartName"] = $user
$inParams["StartPassword"] = $pass
$svc.InvokeMethod("Change",$inParams,$null)

I'm running this in PowerShell on a Windows 2008 server using PowerShell
that was installed via the Add Features option (i.e. v1.0.0.0).
