HypverV Server Win2012

So I have a Server PowerEdge 710 with 8 H.D
I install Win2012 R2 as O/S and installed the HyperV role.
It has 4 NIC's
I also installed the A/D Role and made it into a D/C

Here is what I want to do

.NIC #1 I want it to only be for the Server itself.
.NIC #2 I want it to only be for the HypverV D/C
.NIC #3 I want it to be for the VM machines as well as NIC#4

I'm stuck as to how to assign the NIC to the D/C

Can anyone please give me some insight as to how to do this?

Thanks

If you are using the 1+2 licensing for the host (meaning host OS is Hyper-V only and that license gives you 2 guest VMs) then you cannot install any additional roles on the host.

DC and Hyper-V do not go together. This is not a recommended practice.

In standalone situations our preference is to leave the host in a workgroup and manage it via RSAT on a domain joined Windows 8 system.

To answer your question directly:
Use native teaming to do the following:
Team Port 0 and 1 for Management
Team Port 2 and 3 for vSwitch exclusively

In Hyper-V bind to the second team and leave the host OS unchecked.

Then go on to bind the new vSwitch to your VM's vNICs.
