Also remove any references to DHCP scopes and routes.

Yes, and those items come installed as default. Check them.

You can ignore default DENY policies, they don't count in this context.

The default DHCP scope IIRC is set to 192.168.1.100-25x something. So yes, rwpatterson is correct, there is a reference even on a newly installed VM appliance.

 

May I kindly suggest you check the Interface tab on the GUI? There is a nice column called "Ref." which shows you which references exist for the interfaces.
