PowerCLi Script to Automate to configure vSwitch, add Uplink and bulk virtual port groups

I have created this script to automate to configure vSwitch, Uplink and bulk virtual port groups in cluster. when needs to create 1000 of port groups just append the script under # This configures vSwitch0 and the VPG .

The intention  of this script is created for reduced the manual work.

How to run this as follow below procedure:

• Install PowerCLi 5.5 /6.x on jumpbox or vCenter server
• Open the VMware power cli
• Go to the path where you kept the script
• Run the script.\AddStandardSwitch.PS1
• It will prompt to give the credential to connect vCenter server.
• Now you can see the progress in PowerCli
