At work we use a virtual machine through vmware to update applications on other computers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge and others) with Ninite Pro.
I typically push out updates to 120 or so computers at a time and so the 1 gigabit connection is completely saturated for about 30 minutes.
The server has been doing this for about 5 months now without any issue (besides me having to wait 30 minutes).
From what I was told the blade that the VM is running on has a physical 10 gigabit NIC.
I had the bright idea of asking if I could get a virtual 10 gigabit NIC on the VM.
Our network administrator tried adding a 10 gigabit NIC but was unsuccessful for some reason.
He was able to add 4 - 1 gigabit NICs and team them together in a 4 gigabit network bridge, which should be plenty fast enough for me.
I can access Google, network printers and active directory without any issue on the VM.
When I open Ninite Pro it is able to access active directory and give a full list of computers on the network, but when I try to push updates to a group of computers ... even like 3 computers, it gives the error "An unexpected network error occurred – 93" for each computer.
All I can think of is maybe Ninite is trying to use one of the 1 gigabit ports instead of the bridge.
Route Print sounded like a good place to start, but I am not sure what I should be looking for in the data it gives.
Is there a way to force all programs to use the "Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver" as route print wants to call it?
