Windows network virtualization is not enabled on a host NIC available for placement


“Windows network virtualization is not enabled on a host NIC available for placement”

1. You have created a logical network in the Fabric workspace in VMM.

2. Then, you have created a VM Network, and tries to deploy a VM or/and a Service to your cloud or host group, associated with this network.

You’ll get the error mentioned above, during the intelligent placement step in the wizard.

Resolution:
Log on to your hosts/clusters where you can’t perform the deployment and enable the “Windows Network Virtualization Filter Driver” option on the NIC used for the virtual switch.

Refresh the hosts/clusters in VMM and retry the operation.

If you're running 2012 core on your hosts:

Get-NetAdapter -Name
Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name HOSTNAME -ComponentID "ms_netwnv"
