Hey all...I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out. We are a training center and it is typical for me to build 1 image (lets just say SQL Server 2012. It is build on Server 2008 r2 and the virtuals are of course Hyper V and are prebuilt. I just have to run the import scripts and import them in. All works great. I clone that machine to my ghost server and deploy it out to lets say 15 other machines. This is the problem....the virtuals run just fine. However, if they try to get on the internet from the HOST machine, it takes FOREVER, if it makes it at all. Im assuming it has to do with the virtual switch using the same MAC address from the original machine it was built on, therefore causing a broadcast storm. But if I go into the Hyper V manager and change the MAC address to a static one and put unique numbers in it, nothing changes. I even tried to enable all protocols on the virtual switch, but still no go. Can you guys please tell me what Im doing wrong and how to correct it! Its a huge problem and as of now my only solution is to import the virtuals one by one on each machine, which takes 3 times as long as just ghosting the machine once.
Thanks for your help on this matter!
