Examples

1: Stop a specific service. 
PS C:\> $Service = Get-SCService -Name "Service01"
PS C:\> Stop-SCService -Service $Service

The first command gets the service object named Service01 and stores the object in the $Service variable.

The second command stops the service in $Service, which stops all of the virtual machines in the service.
