Prevent OS Customization to connect NIC

$

Hello,

I work on specific task, for which I need to deploy a new VM in offline mode, using same name as current production VM. In this offline VM I need to install specific SAP components, restore database from prod VM and bring the new VM offline, but once its all done.

 

Now my issue is - I use OS Customization for the new VM deployment, so it configures its hostname, IP and Workgroup. I start the VM with NIC Connect at Power on UNchecked, but once the VM triggers the OS Customization action it connects the NIC automatically, which leads to fact that the hostname is updated like MYHOSTNAME-0 (the -0 is added) because the VM obviously finds the cuurect production VM which already has the hostname I try to configure...

 

How can I avoid this? I need the OS Customization not to mess with my NIC adapter settings.

 

Thanks Leos
