Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
When running Move-VM to move virtual machines to a vApp and passing two (or more) virtual machines by pipelinе, the operation might fail.

Cause
This issue occurs because the underlying vCenter Server operation for the first VM is not completed and the cmdlet tries to perform the operation for the next VM.
