<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Uses Copy-VMfile cmdlet which ships with Hyper-V on Sever 2012 R2

    .DESCRIPTION
        Uses Copy-VMfile cmdlet (introduced in Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V) to perform the deployment.
        The cmdlet has some issues while copying to C:\windows\System32 & 'C:\Program files' folder (issue with DSC resources),
        We workaround that by copying to a temp location and then moving the files and folders.

        Deployment Options:
            Exposed FileSource - this is equal to 'host' in the Server2012R2 Hyper-V (can change in future versions so exposed here).
            CreateFullPath - Set this to True/False if you want the destination path to be created.
    .PARAMETER Deployment
        Deployment to run

    .PARAMETER VMName
        VMname passed to Copy-VMfile for VM deployment

    .PARAMETER Deployment
        Deployment passed to Copy-VMfile for VM deployment

    .PARAMETER Authentication
        Authentication passed to Invoke-Command for remote deployment
