Cloned Machines Have Disconnected Network Adapters

[dan-rose]

Hello,

I am attempting to provision windows VM's with settings - here

The process actually works well except for one thing.. The newly cloned machines have their network cards disconnected at the vsphere level, and i have manually edit the vm's settings, and check the boxes to have them "connected" and "connected at Power on"

Initially i thought this might be a problem with the "Template" VM being on a different LAN to the destination lan of the new VM. But its not that. Next I thought it might be the fact the template had a E1000 Nic and the newly cloned VM's were being created with VMXNET3 adapters. So I remedied that too and still no..

Because there is no error.. I don't have a stacktrace.. but i do have the console info see below... If there is a way of getting more info out then please let me know and i'll run it again.

Thanks in advance for any assistance..
