Working with services on a remote computer

[Modugno]

I am just getting back into using autoit(might as well call me a newb). I am trying to create a gui that will check the status of a remote service. I also want to be able to start and stop them. I have found many exmples and they all work well. The only problem is that the remote systems are not a member of any domain and I would never be logged in with a user account that would have admin rights on the remote box. My question is how do I pass alternative credentials to the remote system. Thanks so much for any help

Here is the code that works great if I have admin permissions - this is just a simple test, but if i can get this working I can finish my project - thanks again

#include <_NTServices.au3>

$result = _ServiceStatus("acproxy", "ip address")

MsgBox(1,"test","acproxy is " & $result)

$result = _ServiceStatus("spooler", "ip address")

MsgBox(1,"test","spooler is " & $result)

_ServiceStart("spooler","ip address")

$result = _ServiceStatus("spooler", "ip address")

MsgBox(1,"test","spooler is " & $result)
