Virtual Server 2005 and Physical Network Card...

Happened to me just now that I changed my home server LAN Card to a new Gigabit LAN Adapter couple months ago and today when I was trying to hook and run a VPC image from my server, the Virtual Networks Settings remained displaying old NIC cards and my new Gigabit NIC was not shown.

Tried uninstall and reinstall Virtual Server 2005 R2 didn't reflect the NIC change. By referring to this post and just delete the Virtual Server Network setting files located at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Shared Virtual Networks" and restart the Virtual Server service, and refresh the admin page on virtual networks setting page to create a new Virtual Network, the new NIC finally showed up. Case Closed!

FYI.
