After a P2V, the virtual machine has two VMWare nics, however only one will keep it's static address, the other will always revert to DHCP and Autoconfig.
It doesn't matter which NIC is configured, the other will always revert to DHCP
This has occurred several times - does anyone have a resolution?
VMTools are installed
