Unable to create Inbound rule

Question

I'm using powershell to create inbound IP rules for an EC2 Instance sec group.
I'm running the following code.
`
$IpRange = New-Object -TypeName Amazon.EC2.Model.IpRange
$IpRange.CidrIp = "/32"
$IpRange.Description = "Sean"
$IpPermission = New-Object Amazon.EC2.Model.IpPermission
$IpPermission.IpProtocol = "tcp"
$IpPermission.ToPort = 3389
$IpPermission.FromPort = 3389
$IpPermission.Ipv4Ranges = $IpRange
Grant-EC2SecurityGroupIngress -GroupId sg-00xxxx -IpPermission $IpPermission`

It seems to work just fine at the cmdline, but nothing gets pushed to AWS.
Is there something else I need to do?

Hi,

>Use the below link for guidance to setup your security group using powershell[1]https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/pstools-ec2-sg.html

>When viewing the security group please make sure you are in the correct region, consider using DescribeSecurityGroups API call to view your security group if it was created succesfullly[1]https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeSecurityGroups.html

>secondly you can use cloudtrail to check the api call when you create a security group[2]https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CreateSecurityGroup.html
