IP not available prior to login

Hi,

I have a small odd issue when deploying Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 (at least I have only seen it there)

The VMs are deployed using vRA 7.6. Latest available VMWare Tools is installed in the template

VMs have IPs assigned and listed with vRA portal.

But the vCenter doesnt show the IP, nor do the VMs respond on a ping.

The IP is first visble in vCenter and for a ping after I log on the VM for the first time.

I believe this is somehow caused by the OS. The Windows NIC has power saving disabled.

Will VMWare Tools not report to vCenter as soon the machine is up?

Has anyone seen this before - I have the feeling, that is is a very basic thing I am missing...

Regards, Kjeld

This doesn't sound like anything related to vRA. VMware tools has to be up and running before it reports that info to vCenter.
