Network Interfaces Names

[bharathphatak]

Hi All,

 

I have to create a server 2008 image with some changes like naming network interfaces to LAN, LAN1,LAN2 etc.

I installed server 2008 on a machine and made necessary changes(renaming interfaces) and created the Image. I reimaged another machine with the image created before.

 

Problem:

The network interfaces in new image doesn't have names as LAN,LAN1 ,LAN2 etc. And it gives an error when i try to manually rename to LAN,LAN1 etc saying "the name already exists". But the names are not shown in Network configuration window.

 

 

Any Help Is Much Appropriated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Bharath

Hi,

 

I can remember I had to install 5 server with 2 NICs one called LAN and the other Storage. I done it as you said and I had the same problem.

 

From what I can remember there wasn't a solution, the problem seems to be the timing when windows enumerates NICs. If you find any solution, please share with us.
