It's going to be hard to help you if you don't tell us what error you are getting. Can you configure the VPN using the client that is installed with the software?

The cmdlets you are trying to use is only available in certain windows versions, those being Server 2012, 2012R2, 2016 and Windows 10. According to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/vpnclient/add-vpnconnection?view=win10-ps

To get something working with WinXP will most likely be very tricky, while I would think Google or Bing would be your friend to find something DotNet that you can apply to Windows 7.
