In this short blog I’m going to show how to add a network adapter to a SET switch team. With Windows Server 2016 Microsoft released a new way of teaming called “Switch Embedded Teaming” also known as SET. With SET we have to ability to create a team which is part of the virtual switch. More information here.
Add / Remove network adapters from a SET team
For adding or removing network adapters from a SET team you can use the following powershell cmdlets:
$VMSwitch = Get-VMSwitch -Name "VMSwitch"
Add-VMSwitchTeamMember -VMSwitch $VMSwitch -NetAdapterName "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"
Add-VMSwitchTeamMember -VMSwitch $VMSwitch -NetAdapterName "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"
OR
$VMSwitch = Get-VMSwitch -Name 'VMSwitch'
Set-VMSwitchTeam -VMSwitch $VMSwitch -NetAdapterName "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"
Set-VMSwitchTeam -VMSwitch $VMSwitch -NetAdapterName "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"

SET Cmdlets: Add-VMSwitchTeamMember und Remove-VMSwitchTeamMember
Thanks, updated 🙂
$vswitch = Get-VMSwitch -Name “vswitch”
Add-VMSwitchTeamMember -VMSwitch $VMSwitch -NetAdapterName “Ethernet”,”Ethernet 2″
there is a small mistake 🙂
$VMSwitch should be $vswitch
