CreateVM_via_VCD_Any_Site.ps1

<#
  This is a script that can be used to provision a vApp/VM from a template, 
  connect the VM to the network and get an IP, power on the VM, check that status,
  and then delete the vApp/VM.
  
  Note: This script assumes there is a single VM in template.  If you want to utilize
        vApps with multiple VM's contained in it, you will need to modify the script
		to utilize foreach () constructs to connect with VM to the vApp network and get
		an IP address.
  
  Usage: ProvisionVm.pas -vcddns icd-mystack.pearson.com 
						-org "johnlamb-egw-demo" 
						-orgnet <BE | FE> 
						-catalog "*public-catalog" 
						-template "Windows Server 2008 R2 - Standard"
						-vappname "test vapp"
						-delay 60
						-user john.lamb@pearson.com 
						[-pwd sometext]
