Issue/Introduction
HCX Bulk Migrations are being used to migrate virtual machines between environments.
Windows Updates are being applied when the source virtual machine is powered off.
The migration is failing due to the source virtual machine taking too long to power off during the switchover process.

When using HCX Bulk Migrations, do not run Windows Updates on the source system during the migration process. If Windows Updates are in progress and the virtual machine is not powered off yet, the migration can fail.
