VM not happy upgrading from 2003 Svr to 2008 R1 Enterprise when on the network

-

i have dell 2950 running 2008 r1 svr ent sp2. hosts 4 vms of them running 2003 server. work fine in setting. i'm trying upgrade 1 of them, web server,  2008 r1 ent. i've tried many variations, seems place on network, gets little corrupted. furthest got leaving vm off net , 2008 , 2008 sp2, rebooted, placing vm on net download 90 or updates , corrupt state not open network properties, dtc, server service won't start, nic icon in tray show disconnected, among other things. every time try , reconnect net vm @ different point of upgrade, end in state.

my last attempt, kept net connected beginning using legacy nic no integ serv tools installed.
2008 ent (upgrade) installed fine , first time after upgrade loads gui fine, once rebooted again, while connected net, returns state, time hung on applying user settings...

new hyper-v, used vmware, understand concepts. missing obvious should doing when upgrading os's under hyper-v?

thanks time!


the server behaved same way once moved physical server. so, wasn't hyper-v issue.
fix me in 2003 server. @ command prompt, entered 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1', entered 'devmgmt.msc', , selected view - show hidden devices. there, removed old devices no longer in use. rebooted , upgrade went smoothly after that.
mod, feel free delete or move feel necessary.

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
