And you've done the hack (set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1) to look for hidden devices on your linked clone, right?
If it's a VMTools change that's causing PnP to pick up a new adapter after Quickprep it would be nice to have a way to revert to the previous behavior, otherwise I guess I'll have to do what you're doing and use GPO to turn it off on the new adapter.
