Hi Jorge Aha, does that happen to be a link somewhere on the net that I can reference to?
Personally for DC I never find a need for adapter teaming, if the nic dies and I get an alert from the monitoring server that's all good for me - clients should failover elsewhere anyway... So any bullets against teaming would be excellent! Thank you and have a splendid day!
