Hyper-V: simplify moving between physical networks with teaming
Situation You use Hyper-V on a laptop, which you connect via different physical connections, switching between e.g. WiFi, and LAN. You wish to use a Bridged connection on a VM. Problem When A Hyper-V VM network adapter is configured for bridging, it is bound to a specific physical Nic. If that adapter goes off-line (as is the case when you switch between WiFi and LAN), you need to manually connect the VM to a different, available Nic. Solution add multiple Nics to the VM Configure each to be connected to a different physical Nic Ensure you check "Enable this network adapter to be part of a team" under Advanced settings for each Nic Implement a Bridge in the VM (use Server Manager) pro tip: assign any static IP etc. to the bridge, restart to bind services to the new Nic\IP Make some coffee, you earned it.
