Problems with Networking in Windows Server 2008x64

I updated a DC's vmtools and hardware which went well, but a member server running exchange seems to have developed some type of networking issues where it is connected to the network but reports "Local Only" and suffers from some authentication/connectivity issues.

Anyone seen this with a version 4 vm from 3.5 moved to a new 4.0i host with tools and hw updated?

Thanks!

Is your only DC?

Are you sure that all VMs have the clock aligned?

Yeah, it was surely something network related that went bad. I rolled a snap in the san back and started over and all went well second time around.

However I have installed the latest tools, but I have not updated the hardware yet.

Thanks!

You a big warning.

Be very careful with snapshot on a DC. You can corrupt the AD replication (if you have more then one DC).
