That meaning the some of the virtual hardware in the vm had to be reinstalled. In Windows 2008 server it installed a new NIC called “Local Area Connection 2″ with the E1000-driver. Some services like DNS did not like that. I fixed it by adding another NIC (VMXNET3) and adding the former IP. Then I deleted the E1000-NIC.

I had a problem on a Windows 2008 VM, that would not install the new version of VMware tools. I could not uninstall the old version either. I found this solution.

1) Switch to the CD-ROM with the VMware Tools ISO mounted.
2) Run setup.exe /c to do a manually removal of the registry keys from the previous VMware Tools version
3) Re-run the setup.
