    Hi Freinds,

    I have gone through the threads which discuss about Teaming in Hyper-V and problems related to it, but all threads are a year old.

    I tried to get new updates regarding  Teaming support in Hyper-V over net, but could not get concrete information as whenther Hyper-V R2 supports Teaming or if there are any issues with Teaming? Can you please help me?

    Thanks.

    The issues have not changed. Considering that teaming is a function of the NICs and the drivers for the NICs - it is not under the control of Microsoft. You must still return to your vendor and really grill them about their driver compatibility with Hyper-V. I understand this is getting better, but no one can make a blanket statement that teaming is supported. Prudence on your part is warranted.
