Automatic fixup of network configuration on system image move

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing thereon a set of instructions which when executed by computing platforms cause the computing platforms to implement a fix up utility on multiple computing platforms of a computer network,

• detecting a boot up command and in response:
• automatically applying an old network configuration for the migrated operating system image;
• initializing the fix UP utility,
• creating a new network configuration for the migrated operating system image, and wherein the network configurations are created by a plug and play utility that uses dynamic host configuration protocols;
• storing the new network configuration information;
• reading, by the fix UP utility, the new network configuration information and old network configuration information corresponding to the first hardware platform;
• determines if any of the current network information corresponds to a new network interface controller and if any of the backed-up network configuration information corresponds to a non-assigned network interface controller,
• wherein if any of the backed up network configuration information corresponds to a non-assigned network interface controller, reassigning network interface controller identifiers from the backed up network configuration information to the new network interface controller wherein the reassigning is contingent on the migration occurring between a virtual machine to a physical machine, or occurring between a virtual machine to a virtual machine.
