    Hi Dantech, 
     
    Can you put up a screenshot of your: "Network Adapters" form "Device Manager" and of your Network Connections form: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Centre and then click on "Change Adapter Settings". 
     
    With regards to the code: 
    New-NetSwitchTeam -Name "SwitchTeam01" -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2", "Ethernet 3" You need to run it as an admin on Windows PowerShell where: 
    SwitchTeam01 = is the name of the NIC team (You can name it anything you want).  "Ethernet","Ethernet 2", "Ethernet 3 = is the name of the name of your Ethernet Adapters (by default they will be named Ethernet, Ethernet 2, Ethernet 3, Ethernet 4 ect ... to the number of NIC's you have installed on your system).  Also, can you confirm with me that the five Ethernet NIC's you are trying to team are actual physical NIC's and not virtual NIC's, for if they are virtual NIC's it might be better to create a network bridge. Also, you cannot create a team with a NIC if that NIC is already assigned to a virtual switch.
     
    Kind Regards, 
    Paul

    Hi Guys, 
     
    So I was able to enable teaming of multiple NIC cards by typing in the following command in Windows PowerShell.
    This command was implemented on a Windows 10 Pro 1809 Build (x64bit).
     
    The command I used was as follows:
    New-NetSwitchTeam -Name "SwitchTeam01" -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2", "Ethernet 3" Where I replaced "SwitchTeam01" with a name that refers to the teaming of multiple NIC cards and replaced: "Ethernet", "Ethernet 2" etc... with the name of my NIC's as seen on "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections". 
     
    Previously I tried the following commands: 
    New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "Team1" -TeamMembers "NIC1","NIC2" New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "Team1" -TeamMembers "NIC1","NIC2" -TeamingMode LACP But wasn't able to implement the NIC teaming within the cards as I would constantly receive the following error: 
    New-NetLbfoTeam : The LBFO feature is not currently enabled, or LBFO is not supported on this SKU. At line:1 char:1 + New-NetLbfoTeam + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_NetLbfoTeam:root/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetLbfoTeam) [New-NetLbfoTeam], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 1,New-NetLbfoTeam Form this I understood that LBFO is not supported in "Windows 10 SKU" but only in "Windows Server". 
    Another way to enable NIC Teaming could be to use the "Intel Network Connections Application" and enable Teaming. Unfortunately since I do not have a Intel Network Card this option wast possible for me to test out. 
     
    Since I have a Realteck NIC I first uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled the NIC's with the latest drivers form Realteck. 
    Next I checked out the Network Properties of my NIC cards and made sure that "Realtek Teaming Protocol Driver (NDIS 6.40)" was installed. 
     
    After this was done I executed the above mentioned command in Power Shell which in turn resulted in the creation of my Teamed NIC Adapter to be visible in "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections". 
     
    Finally the end result of this was that I was able to create on "Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver" Adapter that was able to connect to all my other NIC cards at the same time and hence enabling me to have a solid 3Gb/s internet connection. 
     

     
    * Do note that I have removed my DNS name and IPv4 & IPv6 address as I do not want to make that info public but if you carry out the same steps as mentioned above you should end up with the same result. Also note that the box marked in "red" show the network connection speed of the network adapter. 
     
    This newly created network adapter can then be used for your VM in Hyper-V also.  This will also enable for you to have one static IP address for all your NIC's. Although If you'd prefer to have different static IP addresses for each NIC then its better that you do not follow the above mentioned steps as you will not be able to set individual IP-addressees for each card.
