Parameters

-AdministrativeMode

Specifies the initial role of the new member (network adapter). The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Active. Allows the team member to participate in the NIC team.

By default, the initial role of the team member is Active.

At most one member in a team can be in Standby mode.
