The script sets the server to Maintenance mode first, evacuating any VMs if you are in a full DRS automated environment. While this is not strictly necessary, it was required for my production environment just to be safe. param( [string] $vCenterServer = $(Read-Host -prompt "Enter vCenter Server Name"
