invoke-vmscript with uac turned off issues

i try to use following to set static IP settings but getting the error. I have UAC turnd off. I trid using local administrator

 

The request operation requires elevation (run as administrator)

 

Function Set-WinVMIP {

    param(

        [string]$VM,

        [string]$IP,

        [string]$SNM,

        [string]$GW,

        [string]$DNS1,

        [string]$DNS2

      )

   

$cmd = @"

netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet0" static $IP $SNM $GW 1"

netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet0" source=static addr=$DNS1 register=primary

netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet0" source=static addr=$DNS2 index=2

"@

$xxx = get-credential

Invoke-vmscript -scripttext ($ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.ExpandString($cmd)) -scriptType bat -VM $VM -guestcredential $xxxx

}

Bypassing UAC borders on hacking, so no game in this community I'm afraid.
See a similar discussion in Bypass UAC with invoke-vmscript - VMware Technology Network VMTN

There are apparently some ways to bypass UAC, but again that is hacking.
Try Googling UAC, scheduled task, and schtasks, you might find some tips
