COMMAND EVERYTHING.
Imports IP address into the IPAM server.
Microsoft IpamServer reference: Imports IP address into the IPAM server. 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 Import-IpamAddress. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

-AddressFamily (required)- Specifies the address family of the IP address records in the import file. The IP address records in the CSV file must belong to the address family that you specify for this parameter. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - IPv4 - IPv6
-AddressSpace- Specifies the name of an address space. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet imports the IP addresses into the Default address space. If you specify this parameter, you must specify the *AddressFamily* parameter.
-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.
-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.
-EndIpAddress- Specifies the end address for the IP address block. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the last IP address of the network that you specify for the *NetworkId* parameter. If you specify this parameter, you must specify the *StartIPAddress* parameter.
-ErrorPath- Specifies the literal path of the error CSV files that IPAM generates if one or more IP address records fail to import. The file name is generated automatically by the computer that runs the IPAM server by prepending Error_ and appending the timestamp of the operation to the file name specified in the *Path* parameter. The default value of this parameter is the Documents folder of the user.
-Force- Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
-ManagedByService (required)- Specifies the value of the service that manages the IP address range for which you import and update IP addresses. Specify this parameter and the *ServiceInstance*, *NetworkId*, *StartIpAddress*, and *EndIpAddress* parameters to uniquely identify a range.
-NetworkId (required)- Specifies an IPv4 or IPv6 network prefix, in Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) notation. This parameter specifies the IP subnet of the IP address range for which you import the addresses. Specify this parameter and the *ManagedByService*, *ServiceInstance*, *StartIpAddress*, and *EndIpAddress* parameters to uniquely identify a range.
-NetworkType- Specifies an IPv4 or IPv6 network prefix, in Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) notation. This parameter specifies the IP subnet of the IP address range for which to export the addresses. Specify this parameter and the *ManagedByService*, *ServiceInstance*, *StartIpAddress*, and *EndIpAddress* parameters to uniquely identify an address range.
-Path (required)- Specifies the literal path and name of the CSV file to import.
-ServiceInstance (required)- Specifies the value of the service instance of the IP address range for which you are importing and updating IP addresses. Specify this parameter and the *ManagedByService*, *NetworkId*, *StartIpAddress*, and *EndIpAddress* parameters to uniquely identify a range.
-StartIpAddress- Specifies the start address for the IP address block. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the first address of the network that you specify for the *NetworkId* parameter. If you specify this parameter, you must specify the *EndIpAddress* 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.
-WhatIf- Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
