I'm trying to add a static/manual route on my Windows 2008 servers but it just returns with the error message "The route addition failed: Element not found".
C:\Users\User1>ROUTE ADD 10.62.69.71 MASK 255.255.255.255 22.125.113.65 METRIC 1 IF 2 The route addition failed: Element not found.
If I try the same command with the -P option (persistent route) the command works:
C:\Users\GEN-ECH-BMAPAppAcc1>ROUTE ADD -P 10.62.69.71 MASK 255.255.255.255 22.125.113.65 METRIC 1 IF 2 OK!
My issue is that the network connection doesn't work yet; the only explanation I can think of is that the routes are only visible under the persistent route table and not under the active routes. How do I get the routes on the active routes table given that the active route command is failing with the "Element not found error"? Am I missing something here? Any ideas/advice here will be much appreciated.

"Element not found" usually means that you've mistyped the name of the adapter. But in your code, you are using the number. However, I notice that your two code samples differ in the username displayed in the prompt. Is it possible that you don't have an interface 2 in the machine used for your first example? – Doug Deden – 2019-07-02T22:55:07.547
