Enable NIC Teaming

This article shows how to enable LCAP network teaming for your network cards with PowerShell. Unlike Windows 10 you have to do this in PowerShell and you cannot use the ProSet tools from Intel with a GUI for that anymore (at least in Windows Server). In Windows 10 however i could do it with this tool.

You need a network card with at least 2 ports.

At first rename the adapter in your system, this makes it also easier to find it. In my case I've renamed my adapter from "Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter X710-TL" to X710_1. I'm using an Intel X710-T2L with 2 10GBit ports.

This is the PowerShell command to create LCAP on the card:

New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "X710TeamStaticLinkAgg" -TeamMembers "X710_1", "X710_2" -TeamingMode LACP -LoadBalancingAlgorithm Dynamic

To remove the group:

Remove-NetLbfoTeam -Name "X710TeamStaticLinkAgg"
