Intel network interface card (NIC) teaming is not supported with PCI-X network interface cards running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Your server's on-board network ports are on the PCI-X bus and therefore cannot be used to create an Intel NIC team with Windows Server 2008 R2. Your Windows installation uses a generic NIC driver that does not include the teaming feature.
If you want to include the on-board network ports as part of an Intel NIC team, do the following:
This driver provides Intel's Advanced Networking Services. This driver is either included with your card, available from the card manufacturer's web site or from Intel (http://www.intel.com).
