Hello Andre,

Thanks for posting in VMware Communities.

Is there a possibility that these 300 VMs were cloned from a common template ?

And if the template was originally a VM on workstation and was imported to vCenter ?

I have checked on multiple forums and communities and this seems to be a unique issue reported so far.

Here's a quick way to isolate @ - AndreParsons

Whenever a change is updated on the powered on virtual machines(like adding new device or configuration changes), the last modified date on the vmx file gets updated.

Can you get any VMs which is powered on for quite  some time even before the upgrade and check the last modified date of the vmx file of those VMs.

If all the powered on VM's vmx file shows the last modified time to be the same time when the upgrade was done, we can confirm the upgrade had added the "HD audio" device to the VMs or should look for other ways to isolate this issue..

Regards,

Jonathan
