INTEL NIC Teaming in Windows 2008 R2 Core

You need the drivers from Intel to team nics.

1) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL.
2) Use command PROSetCL.
3) We have to list the nic adapters first. To do this type ProSetCL Adapter_Enumerate.
4) Now that we have a list of Intel nics, we could create a team. Type ProSetCL Team_Create adapter list team name team mode.

adapter list = The adapters to be in the team. e.g. 1,2
team name = Name of the team. You could put anything in here. e.g. Teamnic
team mode = The mode of the team. Choices are alb, aft, sft, 802.3ad, sla, vlmb.

Let us say I have 3 Intel nics. I would issue a command like this:
 ProSetCL Team_Create 1,2,3 Teamnic alb

DISKPART: "DiskPart has encountered an error: The media is write protected."

I got this error from DiskPart when I entered the command "create partition primary".
The disk was set to read-only. To find out if the disk is read-only or not is to issue a command "detail disk". Look for Read-only : yes.
To clear the read-only, issue a command "attributes disk clear readonly"
You should be able to create a partition
