Restore-CD-ROM

This script (CDROMRestore-VMware-PostRecovery.ps1) is intended to be utilized as a Post Recovery script for Zerto customers who are failing over to a VMware environment and require an IDE CD ROM to be attached to their VMs. The user will need to provide an Import CSV before the Post Recovery Operation that lists the names of the VMs which require CD ROM addition. Note that after the Fail Over Recovery Operation has created and powered on the VM, this script will power off the VM as VMware requires a VM to be powered down when adding an IDE CD ROM. The script will only execute during a Fail Over Live or Move Operation, these values can be changed by editing line 71

For an example of the script that is not a Post Recovery script and can be run after the Zerto operations complete please reference the script example Restore-CDROM-VMware.PS1
