vs. Automatic or Manual
add/remove a vNIC from host
on host: Add-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Sandbox-NLB02 -Name “Ethernet 2” -SwitchName Sandbox-vSwitch
(note this names it only w/in Hyper-V manager, not w/in the VM… but each new NIC will be added w/in the VM as Ethernet #)

stop and drain network load balancing on a single host, then start it again
Stop-NlbClusterNode -Drain -Hostname “NLBNODE2”
Start-NlbClustetNode -Hostname “NLBNODE2
discover the interface index of the adapters
Get-NetAdapter
Set IP addy by index

Rename computer whilst joining the domain
Add-Computer -DomainName foo.com -NewName ServerFoo -Credential foo\administrator
same at CMD:
1) netdom renamecomputer %computername% /newname: newcomputername
2) shutdown /r
3) netdom join %computername% /domain: domainname /userd: username /passwordd:*
(* = prompt for pw)
