VMWare ESX VM has 10mbps link speed after P2V April 24, 2010

If after a P2V migration you notice the virtual machine only has a 10mbps link speed, chances are that it’s using an old in the box Microsoft NIC driver.

This can easily be fixed by updating the NIC driver via Device Manager.

If you have the VMWare Tools installed, you can find the correct driver in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\vmxnet

No reboot required. Et voila, fixed.
