Dell R710 NIC teaming issues
-
I team with powershell in 2012 and newer.
Does Server2008 R2 have the powershell for it?

Was not sure, never used it in 2008 era.

What is to monitor/manage with a network team?

Sometimes the NOC will randomly mess with stuff. In a way that the hardware configuration changes so being able to graphically see the state of the team would be useful. You'd think it'd be a "set and forget" like any other team.
Why the NOC does that, none of us know. We've brought it up many times. Cables will get moved/pulled/etc for no apparent reason sometimes. But I digress...

Why not use remote tools instead of logging directly into the HV?
-
Ok, I lied. Thought we had some servers here w/ teams, but it looks like they are all bridged.

Who said anything about a HV?

I use remote tools. Nobody else does. I mean obviously not installing with a GUI is best practice... but I'm shouting at a bunch of deaf people sometimes. Deaf people who can't read lips either.

I asked if there was a plan to virtualize this server - answer yes - later. -

I asked if there was a plan to virtualize this server - answer yes - later.Plus the host in the picture says "HV".
My mistake... should have said this is a host. Didn't think that mattered though since I didn't plan on teaming within the Hyper-V role as I've understood that to both not be best practice and I thought it wasn't even an option in 2008/R2 but maybe I'm mistaken.
-
(cont) I'm planning on installing the Hyper-V role after everything is ready to deploy. I know it's not best practice to install a GUI, but that's how this company does things. I've had the discussion not to but we do anyway.

Definitely always team on the host as you are attempting.
have you already assigned the NICS to a vSwitch?Edit, n/m you said HV role not there yet.

I have access to a machine that has 2012 R2 Standard (GUI installed) + Hyper-V role and the broadcom software was installed, but when I gained access, I did the team via powershell. Doubt I can check the software helpfully there, but let me look anyway.

Checking the Broadcom software would help me... cause BACS 3 on YouTube shows Team Management should be there. But with this one it's absent.
-
I've tried teaming in 2008R2 with broadcom software once. It did not go well. It was a couple years back or I'd offer something more informative.
Best of luck Sir.

@BBigford yeah nothing on BACS 4 even shows the team that I made in windows itself.

PowerShell gives me errors right off the bat... hmm

I think that you have to set them both into teaming mode somehow then you can create a new group. Try something like that.
