VM loses NIC after sudden shutdown of the server

"situation"

3 servers running Virtual Server
An failing UPS that's been causing nightly shutdowns of 2 servers.
Which has been replaced by now.

Servers are running on windows server 2003 SP1 E.E. / Q6600 2.40 ghz / 3.49
G-ram
Virtual Server program runs on 2005 R2

"Problem:"

In the mornings, after the servers had a powerfall out due to the than
faulthy UPS.
We started all the machines up again.
The other 2 did just fine, yet one wasn't seen in the network after.
Upon checking it, there wasn't an NIC present in the VM itself.
Yet the NIC was still added in the Virtual server program for this VM in the
config.

The solution that worked so far, was adding another NIC without settings,
not connected.
And changing Dynamic to Static on the first NIC that was missing, pressing
"OK" to force the change, than redo the Static back to Dynamic.
Booting the VM at that point will result in the NIC present again with it's
new friend.
*if it boots without any changes, the NIC still won't show up*

"Question"

How can we fix this issue on the 1 server.
Everytime tweaking one VM, when others run fine is time loss and un-needed.
IF an powerfailure happens again in the future, it would be lovly to have it
reboot automatically with an "Working" NIC.

Thank you for reading and keeping up so far,

RÃ©mon
