Not able to run PowerShell on Jenkins - powershell

Question

I am running a PowerShell script which will stop a service on remote machine. When I am running it in PowerShell ISE then it is running fine. But when I am trying to run it from Jenkins hosted on my local machine it is giving me an error.
$SQL_agent="SQLSERVERAGENT"
$SQL_server="MSSQLSERVER"
$SQL_Agent_Service = Get-Service -Name $SQL_agent -ComputerName 192.168.48.44
$SQL_Server_Service = Get-Service -Name $SQL_server -ComputerName 192.168.48.44
Stop-Service -InputObject $SQL_Agent_Service
log("[SQLSERVERAGENT] shutdown complete.");
Stop-Service -InputObject $SQL_Server_Service
log("[MSSQLSERVER] shutdown complete.");
I am getting following error while running it from jenkins (jenkins is running on my local machine),
<pre>

Any thoughts on this?

It looks like Jenkins is not running under the same account as of MSSQLSERVER
To change account for jenkins or MSSQLSERVER service
Follow go to services
right click on Jenkins services and select Properties.
Go to Log On tab
Click on This Account
In browse dialog select the user account you want o run Jenkins or Database server in
