Hilarious this happen to us last weekend. Fun times...

Although it didn't just jack up vms it also messed with physical 2008 servers as well, installing a new adapter and setting it to dhcp.

So .. For years I haven't installed 2008R2 ... the DAY BEFORE the news I install a VM for a customer ... Can't win sometimes ...

hahaha. As far as I've seen, it seems it only effects the optional rollup, so as long as you just did normal updating, you should be fine.
