Hyper-V R2 NLB Error: the interface is mis configured
The Microsoft’s current documentation you’ll still need to shutdown your guest OS. First up, unless your Guest OS is also R2, you’ll need to install the hotfix noted above. However, rather than having to note the cluster’s MAC address, you’ll simply need to change the Hyper-V guest settings to enable MAC Spoofing on the NIC which you configured for NLB:

Microsoft Assessment & Planning Toolkit
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is an agentless toolkit that finds computers on a network and performs a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and the Remote Registry Service. The data and analysis provided by this toolkit can significantly simplify the planning process for migrating to Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V, Microsoft Application Virtualization, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Forefront® Client Security and Network Access Protection. Assessments for Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Vista include device driver availability as well as recommendations for hardware upgrades.
You can use MAP to inventory the following platforms:
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP® Professional
- Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2
- Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server
- VMware ESX
- VMware ESXi
