Hi,
I noticed that there is a setting on a VM's NetworkAdaptor called allowGuestControl. https://code.vmware.com/doc/preview?id=4206#/doc/vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceOption.ConnectOption.htm...
I found that it should work by using the VMwareToolboxCmd.exe command in VMware Tools according to the manual: https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware-tools-cli.pdf
But when I use the "VMwareToolboxCmd.exe device list" command nothing lists, so I cannot find the connecd for connecting the NIC from within the Guest.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Best Regards
Brian.
For security reasons, this feature is disabled by default, see vSphere Documentation Center. Have you ran through these steps before running the "VMwareToolboxCmd.exe device list" command?
Configure the virtual machine to allow connecting and disconnecting devices.

That worked thank you.
I wrote an article about the risk of these settings: VMs with multiple vNics could be a security risk – The vGoodie-bag
