Network Teaming for Hyper-V

To properly create a virtual switch with multiple uplinks, you'll need to get a list of the adapters on the system with:

Get-NetAdapter

Note the name(s) of the adapters you want to use for your network team and create your switch using the following command:

New-VMSwitch -Name "SwitchTeam" -NetAdapterName "Ethernet NIC 1","Ethernet NIC 2"

Be sure to substitute the name you want in place of SwitchTeam.

You're also able to specify more than two NetAdapterNames, just follow the example to add additional adapters.
