Using VMware PowerCLI (#006) – Deploy Template (v0.4)

I’ve edited “DTS (v0.3)” so it can generate “.csv” and accept input from “.csv” file as well.
Feel free to send your comment and idea and if you find any bug/problem in this script please let me know, I hope this version can do better work and be useful.
