Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 NIC Teaming

Question

I wanted to know if Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 supports NIC Teaming? We used intel proset on Windows 10 but its no longer supported on Windows 11.

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 supports NIC Teaming. NIC Teaming on Windows 11 is handled natively through the Windows Server NIC Teaming feature, which is also available in Windows 11 Enterprise editions.

Steps to Configure NIC Teaming in Windows 11:

1. Using PowerShell:

Open PowerShell as Administrator.

• Use the following commands to create and manage a NIC Team:
• Copy and paste the following command: New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "Team1" -TeamMembers "Ethernet1","Ethernet2" -TeamingMode SwitchIndependent -LoadBalancingAlgorithm Dynamic
• Replace "Ethernet1" and "Ethernet2" with the names of your network interfaces.

Using Windows Settings:

  Go to **Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings**.
  
     Look for the NIC Teaming options (if available in your version of Windows 11).
     
     **Verify Compatibility**:
     
        Check with your network adapter manufacturer for any specific drivers or utilities that might enhance NIC Teaming functionality on Windows 11.
        

Note:

Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 does support NIC Teaming, but you will need to use the native Windows NIC Teaming feature instead of Intel PROSet. Ensure your hardware and drivers are compatible, and use PowerShell or Windows Settings to configure your teams.
