Just upgraded from view 6.1 to 6.2.3. I have a script that runs a recompose monthly on our non-persistent linked clones. This is running from a remote server using windows task scheduler.
It was working fine until i did the upgrade to 6.2.3 Everything else is working fine. The parent vm old snap-shot gets deleted correctly. New snap-shot is created fine and the pool in the view admin console is pointing to the new snap before I kick off sendlinkedclonerecompose.
I also had to run the add-snapin.ps1 in "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\extras\PowerShell\add-snapin.ps1" on the connection server to register the vmware cmd applets. Powershell version on the remote server i am running the WTS is version 4.0. The ps version on the connection server is 3.0. The exact error i am getting whether it is remote or on the connection server is list here.
PowershellService::SendLinkedCloneRecompose FAILED, error=Provider
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found

I am looking for help on resolving this issue. This script was working fine until i upgrade to 6.2.3
Is there something that I am missing? of change with this upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is the block of code
$schedule = $schedule.GetEnumerator() | Sort-Object Name
foreach ($t in $schedule){
$time = (Get-Date).AddMinutes($t.Name)

if (-not $Simulate){
$attempted,$successful,$unchanged = 0,0,0

$options = @{

}
$result = $_.Group | Send-LinkedCloneRecompose @options
$attempted += $_.Count
