I've tried just about every variation I could for formatting the device id (escaping the braces, single backslashes, wrapping in double quotes, etc) for the NIC and I get the simlar results. The same command works fine on a Windows 2012 Standard server, but not on Windows 2016 Standard.

Any advice on how I can get this working?
