Is this a PowerEdge Server running a Broadcomm NIC? Server 2012 is notorious for having driver issues with this setup. I haven't seen any of the problems in 2016 Server.

I have a VM (Windows Server 2016 R2) created from a Hyper-V server running NIC Teaming. The server in question can see the internal network on its virtual NIC but cannot surf the Internet no matter how I configure the NIC. Even when I add other virtual NIC's to the server, I still can't get to the Internet. The NIC reads 'unknown network'. All other VM servers on this same Hyper-V server and using the same NIC Teaming works fine and can connect to the Internet.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
