I am trying to deploy 64 bit Windows 7 VMs from a template. I am using vCenter 4.1 and ESX 4.1.
The template currently is configured with the vmxnet3 adapter, I have also configured it with e1000.
Whenever I clone or deploy a VM from the template, the copy succeeds, but the network adapter is not connected. The network adapter device status settings on the template are configured "connect at power on" and the cloned VM comes up with "connect at power on" selected, but "connected" is not selected.
Has anyone out there run into this? I tried a few searches in the communities with no luck.
