The windows credentials are known to not work

[eliassal]

I have a very basic script to retreive status of sql services (Get-DbaService which works fine), but then when I try to start a service when it is stopped I get

WARNING: [15:19:28][Get-DbaCmObject] Bad credentials. The windows credentials are known to not work. Exception calling "GetCredential" with "1" ar
gument(s): "Windows authentication was used, but is known to not work!"
WARNING: [15:19:28][Update-ServiceStatus] Failed to retrieve service name SQLSERVERAGENT from the CIM object collection - the service will not be
processed
WARNING: [15:19:28][Update-ServiceStatus] (SQLSERVERAGENT on VW19DB1) The attempt to start the service returned the following error: Unknown error
.

Here is the code

$service = Get-DbaService -Credential $winCred -ComputerName $Name -Type Agent,Engine
# Loop through services
ForEach ($dbService in $Service) 
    {
        if ($dbService.State -eq "Stopped")
        {
            $dbService.Start()
            Write-Host "Started service {$dbService.ServiceName.}"
        }
    }

I also tried
(Get-DbaService -Credential $winCred -ComputerName $Name -Type Agent,Engine) | Where State -eq 'Stopped' | Start-DbaService
it outputs the same exact result

This error comes from the section of code below where we are validating the credential can connect to the remote machine using CIM

Thanks, so what is the solution? How can I make it work? Do you want to say that we should not use it?
