Feature Request: Please Remove NIC Teaming from Windows Server Manager and more
Dear MSFT Windows Server Team, Since there have been unexpected changes but appreciated on Windows Server Manager (vNext shows Azure Arc status) I would appreciate if vNext could have the follow...
We have recently evaluated the improvements of NAS based backups of LACP Teaming vs SMB Multichannel (no teaming) most are not aware how severe LACP limits bandwidth. It was three times as fast with SMB 3 Multichannel (3x 1 GBit).
removing this familiar feature is not feasible. Please popup an article on learn.microsoft.com about the better alternatives, no teaming, Windows Admin Center SET-Teaming and how to get there (install Hyper-V).
That said not all backup vendors use native SMB for their products (unfortunately?), I mean with SMB compression and multichannel there is a lot to squeeze out and save the day of network admins blaming "it's the network guys" or configure LACP in the first place.
