According to the article at https://www.jasonpearce.com/2012/04/13/vmware-view-static-ip-addresses-for-linked-clones/ , the desktop VM needs a second vNIC, why the second vNIC is required ?

One for normal DHCP that remains unchanged.

The second vNIC targets the script to give it a static IP address that matches a pre-determined computer name.

The script looks like this:

IF %computername%==VDI-1 NETSH interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection 5" static 172.2.50.51 255.255.255.0 172.2.50.1 1

IF %computername%==VDI-2 NETSH interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection 5" static 172.2.50.52 255.255.255.0 172.2.50.1 1
