    How did you call that Set-WinVMIP function?
    Which parameters did you pass?

    Seems to work ok for me.

    How and from where do you run that code?
    Can you provide a screenshot with the full error mesage?

    Ok, the error is coming from the script running inside the Guest OS.
    For one reason or another the variable substitution on $cmd didn't work.

    Try doing it like this

    Why .psm1, and not .ps1?

    Then you should probably look at what the UAC settings inside the Guest OS are.

    The best bypass is disabling UAC, if that is permitted.
