  Hey, sorry i'm not a Powershell expert with knowledge about why. I'm running Set-ADComputer on my Windows 10 Computer with Powershell 5.1. I think it's native on it. Try to "Import-Module ActiveDirectory"

  And tool is running Locally, not remotely. Your admin computer run the command, not the remote computer. To be clear about that :)

  Seems to be linked to your RSAT. Module is ready to use when RSAT are installed in windows 8, 8.1 & 10.

  https://4sysops.com/wiki/how-to-install-the-powershell-active-directory-module/

  If not Windows 8 or 10 :

  1. Click Add features, and then:
  2. Select Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell in Remote Server Administration Tools > Role Administration Tools > AD DS and AD LDS Tools.

  I remember having already had this error, sometimes, and I don't know the cause. 

  For my part, it never happens twice in a row, it just work properly if I run it a second time.

   

  Maybe a PDQ issue, try the script in Powershell ISE (adapt variables) to test if it works... 
  Maybe just need an additionnal reboot, an additionnal pre-requisite or something like that.. I think I can't help you more about that. :/
