VM boots after restore with wrong NIC network mapping

Scenario

A restored VM powers on but attaches to the wrong virtual network or VLAN.

Recommended Resolution Path

1. Review restore mapping choices before reconnecting the guest to production.
2. Compare the source network labels with the target environment labels.
3. Correct the network mapping while the VM is isolated.
4. Document restore mapping standards so future recoveries are safer under pressure.

Technician Notes

Confirm the result, document the root cause, and record any preventative action worth standardizing.
