I believe the one-line-cli.bat should have a single dash in front of the command portion:

c:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -nolog -command cmdkey /generic:TERMSRC/some_unc_path /user:username /pass:pa$$word; mstsc /v:some_unc_path

Fixed

I had created script using above defined method it was working fine almost 6 months then it's started showing an issue -
Problem / Issue - "CMDKEY: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command." and RDP not picking user and password as defined in script.
Script -
$user = $null
$server = $null
$serverPassword = $null
$server = Read-Host "Enter Server Name"
$user = "AdminID"
$serverPassword = "AdminPassword"
cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV/$server /user:$user /pass:$serverPassword
mstsc /v:$server /w:800 /h:600

I think the key from @gyanu89's code is that you need to wipe the old credentials from cmdkey first, so try adding this line to the beginning of the script:

cmdkey /list | ForEach-Object{if($_ -like "*target=TERMSRV/*"){cmdkey /del:($_ -replace " ","" -replace "Target:","")}}
