C++ WMI EnableStatic with multiple IPs Not Working

G'Day All,

I have been trying to get the EnableStatic function to work with Multiple IP's/Netmasks and am having trouble. At NO point do I get any errors to any of the function calls, but none of my passed IP/Netmask pairs are actually being programmed. Hoping someone on here might have an idea as to what I am possibly doing wrong or missing.

The code to do the C++ EnableStatic was based off of this article in the posts section from "Brian Clow For God's Sake 10:38 30 May '06":

Making WMI Queries In C++[^]

I have changed the function to instead take a list of IP/Netmasks and build the EnableStatic parameters from those.

Here is the code (there is still some cleanup to do in the error returns for the function calls, but I have been first trying to get it to work):

typedef struct IP_INFO
{
	char ip[40];
	char netmask[40];
} IP_INFO, *PIP_INFO;

bool AddIPAddressToAdapterPersistant(PIP_INFO &ipInfo, INT count, INT fIndex)
{
	HRESULT hr;
    IWbemLocator *pLocator = NULL;
    IWbemServices *pNamespace = NULL;
	BSTR path = SysAllocString(L"ROOT\\CIMV2");

    // Initialize COM and connect to WMI.
    hr = CoInitialize(0);
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		return (false);
	} // if

    hr  =  CoInitializeSecurity(NULL, -1, NULL, NULL, RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_DEFAULT, RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, NULL, EOAC_NONE, NULL); 
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		CoUninitialize();
		return(false);
	} // if

    hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WbemLocator, 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *) &pLocator);
	if (FAILED(hr))
	{
		CoUninitialize();
		return (false);
	} // if

    hr = pLocator->ConnectServer(path, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, &pNamespace);
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		pLocator->Release();
		CoUninitialize();
		return(false);
	} // if

	// Grab class required to work on Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
	IWbemClassObject *pClass = NULL;
	BSTR ClassPath = SysAllocString(L"Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");
	hr = pNamespace->GetObject(ClassPath, 0, NULL, &pClass, NULL);
	SysFreeString(ClassPath);
	if( WBEM_S_NO_ERROR == hr )
	{
		// Grab pointer to the input parameter class of the method we are going to call
		BSTR MethodName_ES = SysAllocString(L"EnableStatic");

					idx[0] = i;

					{
