Powershell: Deploying Windows Service remotely

As a big adherent of Continuous Integration practice I often need to deploy a Windows Service on an another computer remotely "by click".

Mostly, this task is performed from our TeamCity Build Server and consists of the following steps:

• Stopping remote Windows Service
• Backuping it's files
• Copying new files into the remote folder where the service is
• Starting remote Windows Service

It's very easy to accomplish these steps using Powershell:

• Get-WmiObject cmdlet is used for managing Windows Service remotely
• Robocopy tool is used for "smart" copying files into remote shared folder
