Here's the scenario:
I'm migrating a physical machine to a virtual machine hosted on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. The Hyper-V Server is configured with an external virtual switch that is shared with the management operating system. When the VM is started for the first time, a "Microsft Virtual Machine Bus Network Adapter" gets created inside the VM. This virtual network adapter is set to obtain an IPV4 address via DHCP.
My question is:
Working from the Hyper-V Server, how can I assign an IPV4 address to the virtual NIC when there is no DHCP server on the LAN?
