I cant run a Get-NetworkAdapter on the actual Template, but once the VM is spun up from the script I can. It does show a nic of Network Adapter :
Name Type NetworkName MacAddress WakeOnLan
Enabled
---- ---- ----------- ---------- ---------
Network adapter 1 Vmxnet3 VLAN-50 00:50:56:8f:04:c0 True
The Template has an invalid backing NIC because its on a host that doesnt have the right vDS PG mapped to it.
