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 ...
