v7.7 Horizon Instant Clones lose NICs - solved

I playing in a nested lab and finding that my Win10 instant clones lose their NICs after deploying and user logon.

2nd child comes up with this error status , then all of the VMs lose their NICs as users logon.

Not seen this before and I've done about 8 of these labs before in v7.7... but with Distributed vSwitch !

The VM NIC disappears when not attached to a DVS portgroup.   If you configure the Instant clone pool for dedicated assignments,

you need a DVS.  Floating assignments will work with standard vswitches but dedicated will not.  go figure. 

The error message could be expressed better.  Gives me the impression the NIC wasn't created.
