Problem : After physically removing a NIC that was part of a team and then rebooting, the team did not perform
as expected.
Solution : To physically remove a teamed NIC from a system, you must first delete the NIC from the team. Not
doing this before shutting down could result in breaking the team on a subsequent reboot, which may result in
unexpected team behavior.
Problem : The teaming changes I made when I modified my team using INETCFG did not take effect.
Solution : When you modify a team using INETCFG, you may need to reboot after reinitialization for the changes
to the team to take effect.
Kernel Debugging over Ethernet
Problem : When attempting to perform kernel debugging over an Ethernet network on a Windows 8.0 or
Windows Server 2012 system, the system will not boot. This problem may occur with some adapters on systems
where the Windows 8.0 or Windows Server 2012 OS is configured for UEFI mode. You may see a firmware error
on screen, indicating that a Non Maskable Interrupt exception was encountered during the UEFI pre-boot
environment.
Solution : Refer to the Microsoft knowledge base topic number 2920163, “ Non Maskable Interrupt error during
boot on a system which has been configured for kernel debugging over Ethernet ”.
Miscellaneous
Problem : Large Send Offload (LSO) and Checksum Offload are not working on my team.
Solution : If one of the adapters on a team does not support LSO, LSO does not function for the team. Remove
the adapter that does not support LSO from the team, or replace it with one that does. The same applies to
Checksum Offload.
