Powershell: Unable to find type of class defined
I'm trying to change screen resolution using Powershell for remote computers. Searching online, have found PS-ChangeDisplayresolution where someone was able to perform this using C# inside Powershell.Running the script on my local machine, it works perfectly but running it remotely then it doesn't work. I was looking into ways to run it remotely and stumbled upon Start-Process and Invoke-Command. But, when trying it locally, I am getting the error Unable to find type.
Would appreciate any help on this.
$command = {
$width = 1152
$height = 864
$freq = 64
