The Intel® PRO/1000 GT desktop adapter does not support creation of any team types in Windows.* This is also true of other Intel® PRO/1000 desktop adapters.

If you installed an Intel® server adapter in the computer, you could create a team using the server adapter and then add the desktop adapter to the team.

If you have an available PCIe* slot in your computer, you could add an Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter to your system to allow team creation. Teaming support and an array of other advanced features enable you to utilize this adapter as an entry-level server adapter.

The software included with any Intel® Ethernet adapter contains everything you need to create teams. No extra software is needed.

You can see http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009747.htm How do I use Teaming with Advanced Networking Services (ANS)? if you have any questions on installing the software to support teams.
