Microsoft IpamServer reference: Adds an address space to IPAM. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Add-IpamAddressSpace. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
-AssociatedProviderAddressSpace (required)
Specifies the provider address space that is associated with the customer address space. Customer address spaces in IPAM belong to a single provider address space.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-CustomConfiguration
Specifies semicolon-separated name/value pairs. This parameter specifies custom metadata that is associated with the address space.
-CustomerAddressSpace (required)
Indicates that the type of address space that you add is a customer address space.
-Description
Specifies a description of the address space.
-Force
Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
-IsolationMethod (required)
Specifies the network virtualization mechanism for the address space. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - NVGRE - IPRewrite
-Name (required)
Specifies a name for the address space.
-Owner
Specifies the owner of the address space.
-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-ProviderAddressSpace (required)
Indicates that the type of address space that you add is a provider address space.
-Tenant
Specifies the tenant ID, as a string, that is associated with the customer address space. You must specify a tenant ID that is compatible with the virtual machine network that you specify for the *VmNetwork* parameter.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-VmNetwork
Specifies the name of the virtual machine network for the customer address space. You must specify a virtual machine network that is associated with the tenant that you specify for the *Tenant* parameter.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the IpamServer module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.
