After a p2v there are several “ghosted devices” left in the VM. This could for instance cause a message about having already assigned the same ip-address to another nic when assigning .

This is caused by hidden devices which should be removed:

1. Start a CMD in the specific VM
2. type “set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1″
3. start “devmgmt.msc”
4. Click on “View” and select “Show Hidden Devices”
5. Uninstall all grayed out devices
