Teaming NICs

[tookawhile]

We have an Intel file server (SR5300) which as 3 on-board GbLAN ports - is it possible to team these and have the option for either redundancy or throughput?

I'm under the impression that it is down to the NIC drivers and not something that Server 2003 can do - is this right?

I can simply achieve this with an indentical Linux server and was hoping I could do the same for the Windows server.

The provided NIC drives will need to handle the teaming. Check with the server vendor.
