Configuring NICs in Hyper-V

At my day job, we currently run Windows Server 2003 with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.  One on the things we do is setup a “Shared Virtual Network” in which the guest virtual machines use a dedicated NIC separate from the one the host uses.  To do this we take one of the server NICs [...]
