I was able to run the script locally on the server but when I ran it from a central location, the script did not work. What could the reason why I couldn't run it from a central location?
I am not sure what you mean a central location ?
The input is simple:
1. serverlist.txt - will be a file with all the servernames in (one on each line)
2. you will have to specify the service name on the command line

I don't think our environment allows us to run sc tool. Is there any other ways we can run it?
sc is not a tool, it is a "built-in" windows command.
If SC is not working in your environment I am not sure what else would work if basic windows commands do not work for you.

$ComputerName = Get-Content d:\test.txt
foreach($computers in $ComputerName){
start service BITS
}
d:\test.txt = this is the location where you need to put the test.txt file in which you need to mention all servers name on which you want to stop/start the services.
