+ vCenter Sysprep File Transfer 
+==================================================
+--------------------------------------------------
+==================USAGE===========================
+ This script has been created to aid users who
+ upload multiple sysprep files to vCenter Server.
+ The upload button in vCenter only allows a single
+ file per upload. This script will allow the user
+ to upload as many files as they please.
+--------------------------------------------------
+===============REQUIREMENTS=======================
+ Fill in the environment variables below. There
+ Is a $DefaultVIServer and a $target_vcenter. 
+ This is because some customers may be running 
+ their target vCenter server within a different
+ vCenter environment.
+ 
+ On your local machine, you will need a directory
+ that includes the following folders:
+ * 2k
+ * svr2003-64
+ * svr2003
+ * xp
+ * 1.1
+ * xp-64
+ 
+ Place all sysprep files within their respective
+ folders.
+ 
+ Run the script. The script will determine if
+ the target_vCenter is a Windows VM or VCSA
+ and place the files accordingly.
+ 
+ ***NOTE*** This script will give an error if 
+ it tries to upload a filename that already exists
+ in the vCenter directory. If you wish for the 
+ script to overwrite any file with the same name
+ add '-force' to the end of the copy-vmguestfile
+ command.
