PowerShell: How To Disable and/or Stop Windows Service

# To disable service as well as stopping it, assuming that the service does not have dependencies
$serviceName='windows_exporter'
$computernames=@('SERVER02','SERVER03')
$setStatus='stopped'
$setStartup='disabled'

Set-Service -Name $serviceName -Status $setStatus -StartupType $setStartup -computername $computernames

# Possible error: this means the service cannot be disabled without disabling its upstream parent services
Set-Service : Cannot stop service 'windows_exporter (windows_exporter)' because it is dependent on other services.
