Hello *
while evaluating Hyper-V Server I tried to create a new external Switch bound to my physical nic. I did that with Hyper-V Manager from a remote machine. It failed, leaving me with no Network Connection at all.
How can I reset the netadapter to at least the state it was before?
Here is some insight:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Get-Netadapter
Name : Ethernet
InterfaceDescription : Intel(R) I350 Gigabit Network Connection
InterfaceIndex : 5
MacAddress : 0C-C4-7A-6B-C5-04
MediaType : 802.3
PhysicalMediaType : 802.3
InterfaceOperationalStatus : Down
AdminStatus : Up
LinkSpeed(Mbps) : 0
MediaConnectionState : Unknown
ConnectorPresent : False
DriverInformation : Driver Date 2015-03-20 Version 12.12.50.6 NDIS 6.30
-----------------------------------------------------------
Normally, when you create an external Switch you'll get your old Adapter bound to the switch and a new Adapter object connected to that Switch with your old settings. ConnectorPresent: False seems to point to the new virtual Adapter that should actually
be bound to the Switch and inherit my old Settings but in fact it has no Settings at all:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Get-NetIPInterface : No MSFT_NetIPInterface objects found with property 'InterfaceIndex' equal to '5'. Verify the
value of the property and retry.

-----------------------------------------------------------
And finally the Output from Get-NetAdapterBinding:

-----------------------------------------------------------
So is there a way to fix that Problem or at least a way to delete the Adapter and recreate it the way it was?
