Assign new port group to guests

[Harpstein123]

Hi all,

I am trying to use a work around for non-persistent pools, because of one application's dependence on static IPs. Is there a way to re-assign a port group to a guest VM?

Thank you in advance!!

Try thisd

Get-VM <vm-name> | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName <new-portgroupname> -Confirm:$false

If you have more than 1 NIC connected to the guest you can use a where clause to select the correct NIC

Get-VM <vm-name> | Get-NetworkAdapter | where{$_.Name -eq "Network adapter 2"} | `
   Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName <new-portgroupname> -Confirm:$false
