Vmware vSphere6.0 / Windows 2012 R2 - Event Id : 27 e1iexpress

This error occurs with the VMware NIC Adaptertype e1000e.

You may try the 2 solutions:

• Change the Adapter type to vmxnet3 or e1000
• Disable TCP segmentation offload (TSO) in the guest operating system
  c:\> netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled 
c:\> netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled

From a support forum: "Install VMware tools , remove e1000 network card after a VM stop, add a card same vswitch etc but, with a vmxnet3 type. Don't use the default card! Start and enjoy this solution . E1000 and E1000e are just unstable in Windows 8 / Windows 2012 , the network card reset randomly with or without heavy I/O."
