In Hyper-V, if say three NICs were assigned to the VM, I got following mapping 
Initially:

Hn0 -> MAC 0
Hn1 -> MAC 1
Hn2 -> MAC2

Then if I remove the NIC with MAC 1 and reboot, I want the other two interfaces to keep the same
Names instead of reassigning hn1 to MAC2. This is a requirement from virtual appliance
Vendor to retain such mappings.  I am wondering if there is any way to do this without
Asking customer or manually editing any config files.

Thanks,
Wei
