The e1000 adapter actually has a setting in the driver advanced tab that lets you set a mac address. The setting is called Locally Administered Address I was able to get this work but I had to change the nic in the vm from the vmxnet 3 adapter to the e1000 adapter.

The only difference between the two scenarios seems to be that I did not import the physical machine, but instead set up a fresh 2003 server from a template. I would try that to make sure it isn't a 2000 server issue. Cheers Hi Chad,

I have an old legacy Win2k server with FLEXlm on it. I did a P2V into ESXi 3.5. After I set the MAC address as you did I lost my network connectivity. A reboot didn't help. I was wondering if you also reconfigured anything at the VM level for the MAC or did you leave those settings at the defaults (auto MAC). Other thoughts? Thanks. Hey, I have the exact same issue.
