Our server monitoring software indicates that the domain controller VM bounces a few times. &nbsp;The event log shows the server did not restart. &nbsp;We use continues ping and we have observed that the VM IP is dropping packet.

are you using VMXNET3 ?<br />

removal of network interface will drop AD functions, as there will be no network until you add it back and re-ip

Hello, <br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2012 VM. &nbsp;The network connection seems to be a little flaky. &nbsp;I want to remove the virtual nic from vcenter and readd it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Windows OS should be able to detect the controller back, right?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hello, 

I have a Windows 2012 VM.  The network connection seems to be a little flaky.  I want to remove the virtual nic from vcenter and readd it.  

Windows OS should be able to detect the controller back, right?

Thanks.

vCenter

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
