No Network Connection on 2008 Server Guest OS on Server 2016 host Hyper-V

We have just setup a Windows 2016 Server to run Hyper-V and host 3 different Windows 2008 Servers.  I have installed all 3 of them from an ISO-image, no errors... but they do not come up with a network card.  

I did create a Virtual Switch and they are all using it.  Each of their device managers shows a single network adapter "Microsoft VMBus Network Adapter" with an error that it could not start.

I would appreciated any assistance on this.

Did you install the integration services?  Legacy NICs (I think) fall back to 100Mbit...

As I recall, 2016 components don't include enlightened drivers compatible with 2008, hence my suggestion.  I don't specifically recall the source anymore.
