Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) update failure

I recently got Event ID 0 on Citrix vDisk Update Service; "Update Task (UpdateTask) is not loaded"

The fix is to restart the Soap service on your chosen automatic update PVS server.

PowerCLI Fix VMWare Time Sync issue

# Description: This script will be used to resolve an issue with VMWare where the VMWare Tools cause a
#                   time sync with the host.  If the host has an incorrect time it will knock the time out of
#                   sync on the guest.  To resolve this issue some text entires need to be made to the VMX
#                   fix.  This is detailed here:
