I'm assuming that the VMXNET 3 NIC is not supported by LabManager 4. Since I get Error 5014: No Valid Network Interface Card. But figured I'll ask anyways to see if there is a trick to make it work.

Talked to support and they said they are seeing the same issues. I guess nobody tested LabManager4 with the new hardware. BUT I think I figured out the trick. In device manager under NIC / Advanced if you change the Speed / Duplex from Auto Negotiation 10GB to 1GB Full, run the pre-check it will pass. Then right after you finish the install you can switch back to Auto or 10Gb. Not sure if there are any issues pass that...
