Now if you copied over a VHD from Virtual Server 2005 to Hyper-V, you will most likely see the error The IP address you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter (microsoft Virtual machine Bus Network Adapter) which is no longer present in this computer. There are a few reasons why this can happen. One thing, you must remember to uninstall the virtual server 2005 VM additions before moving it over to Hyper-V.
