Hi Mahmoud,

Try the following workaround;

1. Login to a VM that will be part of the NLB Cluster

2. After Logging in, choose the veth adapter that will be part of NLB clustering and change the MTU to 9014 from Networking Properties.

This is due to the fact that MS NLB protocol will not bind to the adapter unless configurd to use the legacy network adapter (vs standard network adapter).

Also a great link to solve this solution is below if the above doesn't work.

If you have any other questions please let me know.
