hyper-v bad physical NIC? - vswitch or NIC teaming?

@tim_g Thanks for the commands. If I get the output below, does that mean my NICs don't have the option for VMQ?

No VMQ.
You could still try updating the firmware to see if that resolves the issue before replacing the NIC. -

Given that, would it make the most sense to create a new vSwitch with the second NIC and add that to the VM and see if it stays up like that, or would NIC teaming be a better way to go?
I wouldn't include a known bad NIC in a team. If that NIC is bad, disable it on the host if you can't switch it out. Create a new vSwitch from a working NIC and add that to the VM. You can use the same MAC if needed.

Yeah you seem to be fine there. No VMQ.
You could still try updating the firmware to see if that resolves the issue before replacing the NIC.When I ran the commands in the output above that was on a spare non production server. I ran those commands last night on the problem server and it did have VMQ and it was enabled. I disabled it and it has been up 17 hours now. Before when it was failing, it would go down every 3-5 days, so I'll have to wait a few more days to know if the problem has been licked.

You can also try:
get-netadaptervmqIf you want to do a blanket disable of VMQ (which is what I usually do):
get-netadaptervmq|disable-netadaptervmqWhat does the windows event log look like? (You said this was a gui install, right?)

My lab server is a GUI install, but the production server is non GUI.
