Hello Experts,
I have written a script to stop anti-virus service on few servers. Everything's working as expected. I wanted to get your guy's input on how I can make this script better or if there are some obvious mistake that I am doing in the script or things can be done in a better way..

Script to Stop the Service on the Remote Computer
v1.0
-----------------------------------------------------------
@Description:
This script is created to stop the service remotely on the servers provided in the list. Note: At this time, I've included it to stop one service at a time.
What to expect in v1.1
- This script will be modified to have an array of services to stop. In other words, we can stop multiple services using this script on multiple servers.
- Additional Try - Catch Block will be added to see if the service name provided is valid or not. If not a seprate log file will be created to catch the wrong name and error.
------------------------------------------------------------
@Server List:
Please create a CSV file with the names of the servers. Top column should contain "Server"
------------------------------------------------------------
@Log File's:
Q. Where to check the Log Files?
A. The Log Files will be located under C:\Temp\SvcRequest
Q. How can I check if services are stopped on the intended server:
A. Browse to the location; C:\Temp\SvcRequest and open the file "Stopped_BY_Script.log". Check the name of the server intended and the status of the service.
------------------------------------------------------------
@How do I run this script:
Step1: Go to Start -> Search PowerShell -> Shift+Right Click -> Run as a different User. Use you admin.account to open powershell.
Step2: Browse to the directory, where script is located. Type in .\StopService.ps1 and hit enter
Step3: It will ask for the service to stop
Step4: As an additional pre-caution; if the service matches; it will ask for confirmation. Please enter Y if you want to stop the intended service
