      Have you tried removing the virtual NIC and reinstall it?

        Yes I did. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that the Dell Poweredge 2900 was one of the first generations to support Hyper-V.

          Can you see the vSwitch in the Hyper-V setup itself?

            @Dashrender You mean in the Virtual Network Manager?

                I really think that this is because the host is 2008 R2 but I don't have enough experience to definitively say that with zero doubt.

                  I'm not sure if Hyper-V 2008 R2 supports a Server 2012 VM or not. that could be the issue.

                      Well the good thing is - you can upgrade the hypervisor for free. shut the VM down, copy it somewhere else, wipe the host, reinstall Hyper-V 2016 server, copy the VM back, tada. 🙂

                        @Dashrender Yeah that's basically my plan. I'm glad I rad into this. My co-worker tried and I had never attempted to do this before. It's good to know.

                          My bigger question is - why was he deploying a single VM onto a 5 year old hypervisor, when upgrading/installing the latest is free?

                          Oh, I'd skip 2012R2 at this point as well, and go straight to Hyper-V 2016.

                            @Dashrender I'm not sure. I think it was for a timeclock so they just wanted something setup quickly. I don't even know if he's the person who did the initial install. We took over for another company and are still finding stuff.--
