Yes I can connect to the console, and the computer's network is no
longer working, I'm guessing because dhcp fails due to something the
VCL commands are doing.

However, if I run a ipconfig /renew on the computer it can get it's
dhcp address back and things continue on as usual. If I don't run a
renew command the computer does not get an IP again on it's own. The
computers in this case, with an openstack backend, get their IP from
dhcp, which I believe have a one minute lease time. (I'm going to
increase that this morning as a workaround.)

Thanks,
Curtis.
