First P2V with SCVMM - Hooray!  But Failed NIC - Boo!

And it didn't blue screen either the physical or the virtual machine!
Hooray!

However, the network adapter on the vm says "not connected."  When I try to
connect to "External Netowrk (Intel Pro_1000 blah blah)" it says Update
Failed.

Is this typical?  Is there something I should or should not have done?  All
the preliminary  checks indicated great success, so there was no indication
that this was going to be a problem.

By the way, I have two other VMs on this host that are working just fine.

Thanks

Also, the mouse is all but unusable when I connect use VMRC -- any way to
fix that?

Thanks again.

Try stopping the VM before updating the NIC.  There's probably an error
message somewhere that says you can't update a VM while it's running.

Can't help you with the mouse problem.

Did you install the tools?

Integration components? Did you remove all the little helper apps that
usually come with server hardware.  HP has a lot of helper apps that
interact with the hardware that should all be removed after the P2V.
