Hi John,

This is because of the physical nics have not been entirely uninstalled and it is appearing as hidden devices in the device manager of windows servers.

• Open Command Prompt and type the below command
• set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

• Open device Manager by typing “start devmgmt.msc”
• Click View > Show Hidden Devices

• Expand the Network Adapters by clicking the plus sign and Right-click the dimmed network adapter, then click Uninstall.
• Repeat the above steps for all dimmed network adapters and assign the static IP address to VMware virtual NIC.
