Start services.msc connected to remote machine

I would like to be able to do something like services.msc /target:<machine>.
Is this possible?

When you have Services open, click "Action", then "Connect to another
computer". I don't know if you can do it with command line switches, but
you can browse for the computer you want to control.

sc.exe would be the Command Line equivalent.

Of course I already know how to do this within the gui. I want to, from a
list, right click and launch services.msc already remoted to <machine>.

There's no way to do that I've found.

[gatchaman]

The correct format is:

services.msc /Computer=<computername>

This also works with other consoles such as compmgmt.msc.
