What I would like to be able to do is create a deployment/task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 that can be scheduled to run after hours, snapshot a VMWare VM then apply whatever patches I've deployed to it then, ideally, send me an email to let me know it is done so I can go check to make sure that all the services on that VM are still OK.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

If you can run a PowerShell command at the start of your task sequence, then using PowerCLI it's easy.

You'd use something like this to snapshot the VM.

New-Snapshot -VM VM -Name BeforePatch

There's a bunch of other options available for the New-Snapshot cmdlet, and you can read about them here.
