Issue
After upgrading from Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS 3) to Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 4 (BACS 4) -or- installing Broadcom Adcanced Control Suite 4, you are unable to create a new NIC team. The Teams menu is grayed out, even though the BASP driver is installed.
Environment
Windows 2008
Windows 2008 R2
Solution
Do not try to launch BACS from the system tray - an issue crept up in BACS 4 (but not in BACS 3) where User Account Control causes issues. Instead go into your control panel, right click on Broadcom Control Suite 4, and click 'Run As Administrator'. Once in, choose 'Team View' from the filter drop-down and you'll be good to go.

Thank you! Going crazy trying to create a team and this was the fix!!!
Glad I could be of help.
Thanks for your comment. I was stuck for hours in such a fool problem...
OMG! This has been giving me grief for hours if not days on various servers...
Too easy! Thanks mate.
The latest BACS 4 (at least from Dell) has the elevation issue fixed.
Many thanks!

I had this issue and stumbled upon the resolution by disabling UAC (just cause it annoys me).
Dell PowerEdge R610
Broadcom BCM5709C
Windows 2008 R2
Symptoms were that right-click was not giving me the teaming options.
Thanks, had me stumped until I found this!
Thanks a lot!

thank you so much, been trying to set up a team for like 30 minutes lol!
Many Thanks
Thanks....took days to find your post....thank you
having this exact issue with Windows 2012R2. Started BACS4 with admin privileges. Still cant set up teams.
Teaming in Windows Server 2012 R2 isn't done through BACS. You need to launch Server Manager and click on Local Server. From there you'll see NIC Teaming listed there and to the right it will probably say disabled. Click on Disabled and you can setup your team from there.
Broadcom NICs on Server2012r2 don't play well with Windows Teaming. They break the network connection. BASC4 is required, but for some reason will not give me the option of teaming. It is greyed out.
This hasn't happened on any other server I've done this work on.
In Server 2012 and higher, you need to configure teaming in the Server Manager, not using the manufacturers application.
