11/05/2020 How to enable NIC Teaming in windows 10 Using PowerShell - MCSAGURU - Learn & Troubleshoot Windows, Linux

In previous versions of Windows 10 Pro (before release 1809), I used to use New-NetLbfoTeam
PowerShell cmdlet, and it works ne, but after the 1809 release, it stops working.

After hours of research on the internet, I nd out that LBFO is no more supported on Windows 10 anymore

an only works for Server Operating Systems. I will mention the LBFO cmdlet as well, so in case if you are
working on windows servers, you can con gure NIC Teaming.

Let's con gure the NIC Teaming:


First, open up Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

Next, type the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet in the PowerShell to see the list of Network Adapters available on
your computer. I am going to use two Realtek Network Adapter attached to my computer you choose what
is convenient for you and write them down for the next command.

Get-NetAdapter

Then type the New-NetSwitchTeam command in the Powershell, and for the Name parameter value type
any name you like for me, I’m using 2Gpbs as the name. TeamMembers parameter value will need the
name of the network adapters, which are going to be part of NIC teaming for me Ethernet and Ethernet 2.

New-NetSwitchTeam -Name "2Gpbs" -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"

After running the PowerShell command, if you did not receive any error, it’s mean you were successful. If
you receive any error, make sure you type the command correctly or recheck your network adapter names.

Now run Get-NetSwitchTeam command to make sure your team is con gured.

Get-NetSwitchTeam

As you can see the Nic Teaming is con gured successfully on Windows 10 Pro. If you want to know more

about this cmdlet, please visit New-NetSwitchTeam. If you face any issue leave a comment, and I will reply

as soon as possible.

Before we end this topic if you want to know more about the NetLbfoTeam command visit New-
NetLbfoTeam.

Now it only works for Server Operating systems.

New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "Team1" -TeamMembers "NIC1","NIC2"
