Although I'm not on Windows now and can't test this, I think that one problem is simply that to run a command in cmd, you need to say

cmd /C my-command

and you haven't got a /C. However, I don't know why you're using cmd in that command; How to run exec from Java for netsh? goes without, although it doesn't explain how it gets the needed privileges. Elevating a ProcessBuilder process via UAC? does describe how to get the needed privileges.
