Answer 1

OK. After some research and testing I figured out the issue. After disabling UAC and the firewall and the script still not working I dug a little deeper and discovered that the main issue was the way invoke-command runs the commands. it uses the credentials of the person running the script to authenticate to the server then tries to use another account to run the permissions or lowers the privileges of the user so that certain commands cannot be run.

I added the -Credentials switch to the invoke command and everything is working great now. Corrected code sample below:

$user = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential("$UserName", $securePassword)
invoke-command -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $user -ScriptBlock ` 
{ 
    cd C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\;  
    ./appcmd.exe ADD vdir /app.name:/ /path:/ /physicalPath: 
}
