Add-VpnConnection script works on co-worker's PC but not mine

Question

Hello all! I’m fairly new to PowerShell and a co-worker of mine has been working on automating VPN setup. He created a few commands that work like a charm on every machine they are run on except mine. I did some research and based on the error I am getting I rebuilt my WMI index but that didn’t help. Really lost and would love any help you can give me! Code and errors are below. Thank you!

Troublesome code:

add-vpnconnection -Name TestVPN -ServerAddress 10.10.10.10 -Tunneltype “L2tp” -L2tpPsk ‘t3stk3y’ -AuthenticationMethod “PAP” -AllUserConnection -Force

Error I keep getting:

add-vpnconnection : Invalid class
At line:1 char:1

Answer 1

Are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of PowerShell when you get this error?

If you don't know, run this in the Powershell session:

[intptr]::size * 8

You should see either 32 or 64.

If you're running the X86 version of PowerShell then you're probably missing the 32-bit version of the WMI classes. Switch to running the 64-bit version.
