That's a good way to do it. In fact, for simple P/Invoke calls, you might also consider the Invoke-Win32 library I wrote some time back, or the inline C# library I wrote:

I believe this should work for the invoke -- I don't have the virtual server manager COM object to test with, though.

$parameterTypes = [IntPtr], [uint32], [uint32], [uint32], [uint32], [uint32], [IntPtr], [uint32]

$idispatch = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::GetIDispatchForObject($objDcom)

$parameters = [IntPtr] $idispatch, [Uint32] 10, [UInt32] 0, [UInt32] 0, [UInt32] 0, [Uint32] 3, [IntPtr]::Zero, [Uint32] 0

Invoke-Win32 "ole32" ([Int]) "CoSetProxyBlanket" $parameterTypes $parameters
