Powershell – How to configure and enable NAT with server core installation

nat;powershellroutingwindows-server-2012windows-server-core

Using Microsoft Server 2012 Core:

What is the equivalent core/Powershell command to enable and configure NAT. I have configured NAT on servers with the following GUI steps:

Server Manager, Tools, Routing and Remote Access, Right click on machine, "Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access"

Select "Network address translation (NAT)" radio box,

Pick public interface.

I found "Install-RemoteAccess" but I'm stuck on the prompting for ConnectToAddress. It needs to be public or something but the GUI does not seem to have this requirement.

Thanks,
Kevin

The PowerShell Network Address Translation (NAT) Cmdlets are only available in Server 2012 R2, even using PowerShell 4 or copying the NetNat module does not help. So you're stuck with the netsh commands.
