In most cases, we want to make LBFO teams and to assign the existing NICs to such teams. However, we may have the quite opposite need – to remove some NICs from the existing team.
We will use the power shell and this trick can be used on any Windows server, including the Core and Hyper-V versions. Let’s begin! Continue reading
