I've not had good luck with teaming and I've yet to see much benefit. Saying that, I can see where teaming in a failover method might have some benefits for other types of servers. Due to the way AD is deployed (fabric vs. cluster or single instance) I see no point in making anything complex when it comes to a domain controller. I view teaming as one more piece of software to configure (and potentially mess up) and one more thing in my troubleshooting list if something goes amiss.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but on a similar note - whats the
downside for installing DCs with Adapter Teaming?
All I know is that when adapter teaming is enabled, setting up WINS
service will pops and error message (which can be ignored)...but
anything else? I've always been a firm believer of one nic and no
teaming...
Any comments?
Thank you and have a splendid day!
