    Hi all,

    I keep running in to this problem in Server 2012, and now again in Server 2012 R2. When attempting to create a new NIC team while logged in as a domain user who is a member of a group that belongs to the Local Administrator group on the server, creation fails. The error is "Access Denied. This operation requires administrator privileges."

    When this happens I can log off of the domain user account, and then log right back on again using the same account, and create the NIC team without problem. Then randomly if I try to make changes to the team settings I will get the same error, and have to go through the process again.

    After the team has been created I also experience this problem deleting teams and modifying teams.

    It's happening so regularly on every server that I run NIC teaming on that I have to believe that others are experiencing the same quirkiness.

    How are you creating the team - with PowerShell's New-NetLbfoTeam cmdlet or through the NIC Teaming GUI?

    If the GUI - are you running the GUI elevated?  (If you launch Task Manager, go to the Details tab, right click on the column headers, choose Select Columns, and then add the Elevated column, you can see if lbfoadmin.exe is running elevated).

    The NIC Teaming GUI is a bit daft about elevation.  It will run without elevation and happily show you all your teams and their configuration.  But it will also show you options to modify your teams, even though it wouldn't have permissions to do so.  You can right-click on the local server at the top of the GUI and say Enable Administration if you want to relaunch the GUI elevated.
