You need to enable network card teaming using the manufacturer's software/drivers.If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an "Answer".

you can do it with teaming ,but teaming is not supported by microsoft , and don't do it on domain controllers because gone make very slow initialization.
So do you need for load balancing or for fail over clustering?

What do you mean by “sharing a link”?
What are you trying to accomplish? Are you talking about teaming?

Hello zzdravkin,
teaming IS supported from Microsoft also on DCs IF you use them as fail over and NOT for load balancing. On not domain controllers it is also supported. Depending on the server roles and installed applications you have to check individual if it is supported.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello,
it sounds that you are talking about teaming the NICs, so basically use them as one? Which server roles are assigned to this machine and which OS version do you use?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
