Building a vCenter server for a vSphere cluster on Windows Server 2008 R2 on hardware which has two Intel Pro 1000/MT NICs. We're connecting this server to a HA infrastructure so we want to bond the NICs. However it's not possible to bond the NICs using the native Windows drivers (as ever).
A trip over to the Intel site revealed an interesting thread on how to get it working.
You can get the full details here:
Teaming NIC PRO 1000/MT in windows Server 2008 R2

Bottom line from the thread:
- Get your hands on the Intel Networking Solutions CD v15.3
- Update the NIC drivers from that media
- Run the ProSet install from V15.3_CD\APPS\PROSETDX\Winx64
- Set up the Team(s) via the NIC properties in Device Manager
