Same here. I usually use the sc command to restart the Aclient service remotely.
sc \\remote_computer query aclient - to see if the Aclient service is started or stopped on the remote computer.
sc \\remote_computer stop aclient - stops the Aclient service on the remote computer.
sc \\remote_computer start aclient - starts the aclient service on the remote computer.
