Is this environment I have 3 2008 R2 domain controllers.
1 Physical
2 Virtual
I want to power down one of the virtual DC's and move it from first host (ESXi 4.1) to second host (ESXi 5).
My concern is whether or not the NIC within the guest OS will get messed with or will it stay as it is.
If I recall the mac address will indeed change (unless I have hard coded it in configuration file), but that should not cause an issue.
What I don't know is if a new NIC will show up in guest OS rendering the old NIC useless causing me to reconfigure network settings. Something I don't want to have to do. I know I have seen a similar issue with a linux VM before, but can't remember seeing it happen in a Windows VM. Just want to be sure before I try it.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
