It works fine for me. I used the script without any changes to assign a static IP address. VM was Windows Server 2008 R2 and ESX4i with vCenter 4.1 Update 1.

I have mentioned this in the forums and it would seam a few other people have an issue with the bat file too. Hopefully this will be resolved in a future release. Alan Tim,

The issue was actually that when I had called Set-NetworkAdapter I didn't pass -Connected:$true in that statement. If the VM network adapter is not connected, it will throw the "unable to parse script output". As soon as I changed the vNIC settings on the VM to "Connected" my scripts worked just fine. HTH, Tim Al,
