We are already using this option. It sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't.

When it works, desktop sends DHCPRELEASE and on next boot DHCPDISCOVER.
When it does not work, there isn't any DHCP message and on next reboot 
DHCPREQUEST for an old IP.

It's hard to debug why, because it is hard do debug VMware customization 
process.
