So the script doesn't quite work because the servers are a mix of 2008 and 2012. The network interface name is Local Area Connection X on Server 2008 and on 2012 They are named Ethernet X. So I tried to modify the script to account for this but I can't get it to work. So I am trying to get the OS version and then run commands based on that but it gets the following error.
"Could not compare "Unexpected token '.7601' in expression or statement.

The value of (Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem).version is 6.1.7601 and apparently it thinks its an expression.
I tried the following so I wouldnt have to determine OS version or any of that but since all the servers have varying versions of powershell installed which is out of my control it doesnt work if the version is not 3 or newer.
Invoke-VMScript -VM $VM -GuestCredential $credentials -ScriptType powershell (gwmi win32_networkadapter |?{$_.adaptertype -match "ethernet"}).netconnectionid[0] | new-variable adapter
Here is the script I am currently working with.

$credentials = Get-Credential
