Azure remote Cert error

Hi all

I have been trying to change my azure dns setting so I can specify a static DNS .

followed the guide here http://blogs.technet.com/b/cbernier/archive/2014/11/14/azure-dns-and-static-ips.aspx

then was getting an error connecting as I do not have a trusted third party cert installed.

then followed the guide here https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Configures-Secure-Remote-b137f2fe to run the ps script to install it I get the error

VERBOSE: 10:04:11 a.m. - Completed Operation: Get Deployment

argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

I then followed this up with trying to manually export and install the cert on my PC but get

PS C:\> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName ***.cloudapp.net -Port **** -Credential troy@fission.co.nz -UseSSL
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server ubtbes.cloudapp.net failed with the following error message : The server

Would really appreciate any advice on either fixing this cert problem so I can connect or how I can connect not using ssl?

Kind regards
