Hyper-V resets NIC settings
1) We create a VM with all of the specfic network settings needed for our application.
2) We shutdown that VM and then create a new differencing disk VM using the original disk as a parent.
3) When we start up the new VM all of the specific network settings that we created have been reset (to default settings).
Here are our questions:
1) How can we stop Hyper-V from resetting the specific network settings?
2) If we cannot stop Hyper-V from resetting the specific network settings, where are the "default" settings stored so that we can modify them to default them to our specific needs.
3) If we can't do either of the two above, is there another way?
Thanks in advance,
Juan G.

- Hiya,
There are a few possibilities that you might want to have a look at:
1: configuration file stored at c:\programdata\windows\hyper-v\ - Or something like that. That will hold configuration for your virtual servers.
2: On the virtual servers them self, make sure to uninstal your NIC before you shut it down, that way you shouldnt have any information there either. - from Device manager.
3: Download a tool called devcon and have a look at how many NIC's you have on your virtual server. syntax is "devcon findall=net" when standing in the folder where devcon is unzipped to.
A little more on 3 here, also link to download:

Hope it helps. Hi,
What the exact specific network settings did you configured? I will try to reproduce this at my end.
