#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Virtual machines lose network after a host change Fix : Restore the switch's uplink Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-clu-vm-network Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the host Expect : 45 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Everything on one host has lost connectivity. HOW TO UNDO IT Remove-VMSwitchTeamMember reverses an added member. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
