    Hello,

    We have 2 Fujitsu machines - Each server should work as  Microsoft TMG 2010,  
    configured as a TMG array with NLB  

    When we use latest FSC Intel driver for the NIC the TMG NLB array do not  
    function and can not start.
    Both modes fail - unicast as well multicast.

    Example:
    Log Name: System

    Source: Microsoft-Windows-NLB
    Event ID: 53
    Level: Error

    Description:
    NLB cluster [0.0.0.0]: NLB will not attach to adapter
    '{BA7...........807C9}' because it does not support
    dynamic changing of its MAC address. Replace the network adapter with
    one which supports that capability.


    When we use the out of the box Windows Server 2008 R2 Microsoft driver for  
    the Intel NIC all works ok.

    Is a usage of the Microsoft out of the box drivers supported on this TMG NLB configuration? Is there another solution`?  

    Thanks - Katrin

    Hi,

    is it possible to give the NIC a static MAC address? Id yes try to change the MAC address to a fixed MAC address

    Looks like you will have to change the network adapter.

    Tanks for the feedback.

    We are aware of the technet link and that NIC owner has to been contacted. I saw also a thread at Intel Forum, where same issue for Unicast is described, but not answered.

    I will check if a static MAC address is usable.

    What we need to know is if usage of onboard drivers are supported in that configuration.

    Thanks - katrin
