The e1000 will cause more problems with software applications than what it's worth. Using VMXNet3 from the start will alleviate many issues.

I tend to prefer it.

Only the e1000 will reliably PXE boot but the VMXNET3 are required for Gb ethernet. _____ John Marcum Sr. Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Russ Rimmerman Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2014 7:39 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: System Center environments Are you running VMXNET3 NIC driver on your VMs or Intel e1000 nic driver?

Both our Configuration Manager and Service Manager setups have experienced some corruption over the past few months. We have other servers and Db's running on this VMWare cluster with Equalogic, but only those two setups are on Server 2012 with SQL 2012. Just looking to see if there is any correlation here. Thanks.
