"Element not found" is an error message from netsh.
So the command is working, but your parameters are obviously not correct.

[satheeshsatz]

yes your correct, LAN is not correct.

now its working after we disable it.

but by default UAC wont be enabled state, is it possible to disable it via invoke-vmscript?

Have a look at Re: Invoke-VMScript to run ps commands as an administrator
