In the past I've mostly used NIC teaming for fault tolerance. For what you're trying to accomplish, I think you'd still need Link Aggregation on the switches too. Have you thought about doing a network capture and analyzing where/who the traffic is coming?

Something I’m considering is nic teaming 2 x 1gb nics. Currently the box has a single 1gb nic. Is it common in ConfigMgr setups to have more than one nic on the site server, particularly if it’s a DP too? Daniel.

This is a process I’ve performed for years and have never seen anything like it. Was hoping for troubleshooting suggestions. Daniel. ********************************************************************* This email, including any attachment, is confidential to the intended recipient.
