With regards to the Changing IP Address Script. Has anyone seen the error "A specified paramater is was not correct spec.identity" Anyone have any solutions or ideas?

I've also seen this error.

I'm not sure whether this process is one to clone a VM, setting the IP address required, or one that can be used to reset the IP address of an existing machine. It would be helpful if this could be made clear. Could someone advise on this?

In any event, some additional parameters that might be helpful are:

$vmclonespec.Customization.NicSettingMap[0].Adapter.Ip.IpAddress = "1.1.1.1"
$vmclonespec.Customization.NicSettingMap[0].Adapter.SubnetMask = "255.0.0.0"
$vmclonespec.Customization.NicSettingMap[0].Adapter.Gateway = "1.1.1.254"
$vmclonespec.Customization.NicSettingMap[0].Adapter.DnsServerList = "2.2.2.2"
