Message:Hi
It seems, that the intel chipset driver for chipset 5000X is not integrated
in Windows Server 2008 R2. And the driver from Intel is not available.
Does that mean, that no system with the new server OS, where chipset drivers
are still in production can be used on a productive machine?
. . .in fact the described PCI device above with problems does not exist:
The machine has no PCI device mounted. But the device manager shows the
interrogation mark: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
PCI bus 7, device 0, function 1
Perhaps an issue of the missed chipset driver?
Can we run a stable system without chipset driver?

Normally, if you install the latest Intel Chipset Software Installation
Utility (available here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=816&DwnldID=16023)
it contains drivers for *all* Intel chipset, both server and workstation,
for *all* Windows operating systems.
"PCI devide" can mean almost anything in Windows device manager, not merely
a physical PCI card in a PCI slot.
You surely need chipset drivers here.
The problem is... how do you install them in a Server Core setup? I'd like
to know that, too.

If you don't have a network connection, you need to put the files you
need in an ISO file and connect the ISO to the cd drive in the vm.

Nice tip, thank you.
As for most of Vista's new command line utilities... I spent a good part of
a day looking for where had PROXYCFG gone :-/

Message:You use the command line driver install utility (pnputil.exe) that comes

I do sympathize - took me a day or so to learn of it's existance
syntax help is displayed by typing pnputil.exe /? of course but basically
you will use it thus:
pnputil.exe -i -a x:\MyDriverPackage\MyDriverPackage.inf
Cake.
It can also be used to pre-stage drivers for PnP devices on end user
machines by excluding the -i flag.
