Deployment and operation of Windows Server cluster networking can be a complex and error-prone process. Due to the configuration flexibility provided with the host networking stack, there are many moving parts that can be easily misconfigured or overlooked. Staying up to date with the latest best practices is also a challenge as improvements are continuously made to the underlying technologies. Network ATC applys a consistency configuration across Windows Server cluster nodes to creat a more reliable experience. As Network ATC is designed for Windows Server clusters, it requires Windows Server Datacenter edition and the Failover Clustering feature.

**Intent**: An intent is a definition of how you intend to use the physical adapters in your system. An intent has a friendly name, identifies one or more physical adapters, and includes one or more intent types.

An individual physical adapter can only be included in one intent. By default, an adapter does not have an intent (there is no special status or property given to adapters that don't have an intent). You can have multiple intents; the number of intents you have will be limited by the number of adapters in your system.
