Windows Agent acting up.

Started PowerShell as an administrator and it threw a number of errors at me, so I took a look at the script in PowerShell(ISE) and don't see where the issue is myself. Some parameters are unexpected according to it, but removing the unexpected parameters also doesn't work. Windows, wasn't PowerShell supposed to just work like a terminal emulator sigh.

You should be using command prompt instead of powershell to run that command.
