2008 hyper-V recovery to different hardware

I have set up a simple Hyper-v server and added various virtual PC's with
physical domain access. All works great! Used Acronis True Image server to
create image of Server. I have used Universal restore to move this to
different hardware (disaster recovery test) the system boots and virtual PC's
are there but no virtual network. The v network configuration link just
generates an error.

I think it's probably the same as changing the NIC! I only see the 2
physical NIC's in Windows networking not the usual third Virtual one.

how do I get the virtual networking back?

How many NICs have you added in the VM configuration settings?
How many do you see inside the VM device Manager.
In case of missing device drivers, install the integration components
through the HV Manager Console

Hope this helps!

Re: 2008 hyper-V recovery to different hardware

Virtual network manager link was not working. This was due to ghost network
adapters from the original server. we got rid of these using subinacl script
to delete them from registry. Then removed the Hyper-v role and added it
again. Then we could get into virtual Network manager to configure the new
adapters. Virtual PC's needed the new adapter selecting too. This all worked
fine but does seem a bit of a long winded way to do it.

Any better ways would be apreciated!
