I often notice that people forget to remove the old legacy network card drivers after a p2v…
Here is the “how to remove”:
• open a CMD (run as administrator)
• run the command: “set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1”
• run “devmgmt.msc” to open the device manager
• select “view” – “show hidden devices”
• open the “Network adapters” tab
• remove the old legacy adapters
Howdy!
I often run Kendrick Coleman’s VM Advanced ISO against VMs after they’ve been P2V’d. In particular, the Remove Non Present Devices batch file. Folks should have this ISO onhand during any deployment or migration.
You can find the ISO here:
