P2V of Windows - IP address on destination VM

[peejaysantos]

Is it ok to configure a different IP address(different from physical source machine) on the destination virtual machine after a P2V conversion? (Windows P2V)

If you put the same IP addresses there will be conflict. Also keep in mind that network adapter is changed and VM will be with different MAC.

Like told by POCEH, the destination virtual machine will have a different MAC address and you will need configure IP address again to the virtual machine... you can user a different IP address or the same of the source, but to use the same IP address you need shutdown the old physical server or remove/change the IP address of physical server to avoid IP address conflict.
