Stop and disable a service on several servers

Question

_{Thursday, November 3, 2016 1:24 PM}

I have a script that stop and disable two services and set the startuptype to disabled.

#Stop script

Get-Service Ag*| Stop-Service -PassThru | Set-Service -StartupType disabled

Get-Service World* | Stop-Service -PassThru | Set-Service -StartupType disabled

#Start script
Get-Service Ag* | Set-Service -StartupType automatic -passThru | Start-Service

Get-Service World* | Set-Service -StartupType automatic -passThru | Start-Service

Questions:

1. How can I include a list of servernames to these scripts? So that these services are stopped on multiple servers at once.
   a) If the servernames are included in a txt-file
   b) If the servernames can be found with a sql query (sql express database)?

Thanks

Here is one example of using a text file with Server Names in it.

$SrvNames = Get-Content -Path 'C:\*.txt'

foreach ($Server in $SrvNames)
{
    Get-Service -Name Ag*, World* -ComputerName $Server | Stop-Service -PassThru | Set-Service -StartupType disabled
}
