I’ve noticed a strange thing in 5.12.03CE. In previous versions, when you look at the list of instances, the IPs column would populate with the address of the VM as assigned via DHCP. This works ok for imported instances from a previous version, but for new instances, the address is blank. If I check the VM itself, that does have an IP address correctly assigned. The VM is running vmtools ok. It doesn’t seem to effect operation, and VNC still works, but the address _should_ show.
