Start remote service with C #

Question

I use the following code in a C # WinForms application to start Windows services on a remote PC.

    public static List<Service> GetServices()
    {
        List<Service> Services = new List<Service>();
        ServiceController[] sc = ServiceController.GetServices(Server);
        foreach (var s in sc)
        {
           Services.Add(new Service { Name = s.ServiceName, Running = s.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running });
        }
        return Services;
    }

    public static bool StartService(string ServiceName)
    {
        try
        {
            ServiceController sc = new ServiceController(ServiceName, Server);
            sc.Start();
            sc.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10));
            sc.Refresh();
            return sc.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running;
        }
        catch(Exception ex) { return false; }
    }

The GetServices method works fine when pointing to my local PC or remote PC. However, the StartService method only works on my local PC when I launch it on a remote PC and I get access to it. In this case, the remote computer is a Windows XP pro machine in the same domain, and the user to whom I run the application has local administrator rights on it.

I am not sure if this is a problem with my code or my rights are not correct.

If this is a permissions issue, please let me know and I will try to ask about ServerFault.

thank
