I have setup Hyper V using Windows Server 2012, newbie here, with 1 onboard NIC for management and installed two D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapters for my virtual machines. I teamed the installed NICs, using the Switch Independent and Hyper V Port drop downs and all is well, it created an adapter and it received an IP address from the LAN.
When I create a Virtual Switch using the External option, I choose the Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver from the drop down, the switch is created successfully. Now the issue I'm having is that when I check the details in the Virtual Switch's Adapter, everything is blank and when I look at the properties the only check boxes that are checked are Microsoft Load Balancing/Failover Provider and Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch. I have a Windows 7 VM that gets no IP address.
I'm looking to create 3 more Windows 7 virtual machines for remote users to be able to access all our physical servers and work from home instead of using up physical computers.
Help please.
