Configuring the Virtual Network 29
The following steps modify the default configuration of the Windows Server
2008 parent partition network settings. You need to perform these steps
because an additional virtual network adapter is added to the parent partition
when the internal virtual network is implemented. These changes include:
• Modifying the adapter binding order so that the dedicated parent partition
physical network adapter is preferred.
• Modifying the adapter metric values to ensure that the dedicated physical
network adapter is the preferred route.
• Modifying the DNS resolution and the NetBIOS settings to ensure proper
name registration.
• Disabling any unused network adapters.
