To install NPCAP or not?

[ianc911]

This page says to to install the NPCAP driver, whereas this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/troubleshooting-known-issues#defender-for-identity-sensor-nic-teaming-issue says it only needs to be installed if the server is using a NIC team. Which is it? [Enter feedback here]

@ianc911 - We've updated the documentation to indicate that teaming is only an issue if the Winpcap driver is installed. Thanks for your question!
