The Intel 82579V on Hyper-V Server 2016, installing unsupported network adapters

Repurposing an old developer machine to run some light VM’s, I was tasked with getting Hyper-V Server running on the Asus Maximus V GENE motherboard. Simple enough. Download Hyper-V for free from Microsoft, format a USB stick with FAT32, put all the files from the .ISO on the stick, install.

Diskpart Cheat Sheet

But hey, no network! 🙁

“No active network adapters found.” eh?

Tuns out Intel isn’t a particularly big fan of people running servers on their consumer gaming boards, but not wanting to wait for a new NIC to be delivered, it was time to hit Google.

So I followed the instructions, but switched out the drivers for the latest ones and the OS for Hyper-V 2016.

NDIS reference

A short reference to Intel’s Windows driver naming scheme

Directory	Desktop OS	Server OS
NDIS62	Windows 7	Server 2008
NDIS63	Windows 8	Server 2012
NDIS64	Windows 8.1	Server 2012 R2
NDIS65	Windows 10	Server 2016

Driver Installation

1 => The latest Intel networking drivers, intended for Windows Server 2016, are available here (local archive). Downloaded and extracted with 7-Zip.

2 => Edited the file PROWinx64\PRO1000\Winx64\NDIS65\e1c65x64.inf, removing the lines under [ControlFlags] and copying the E1502NC lines to the next section as described in the links I found. It ended up looking like this:

3 => Disabled the driver signing, as the signature will now be invalid

4 => Rebooted (IMPORTANT)

5 => Put the driver folder on a USB stick, and installed it from the shell

6 => Agreed to the popup warning about installation of unsigned drivers

7 => Rebooted (IMPORTANT)

8 => Considered restoring the driver signing options with bcdedit, and then ignored it as I had better things to do

That’s it. If you’re uncomfortable modifying the .inf file yourself, you can download my already “unlocked” copy here: PROWinx64.zip

Got a Maximus V Formula, but same network controller, and so far been unable to get it to work.

I’ve tried both changing the driver INF by myself, and trying your patched driver, but for some reason I always get the hash mismatch error when running pnputil.

Yes, I’ve disabled driver signing with bcdedit, so not sure what’s up with this.

Did you reboot after disabling the driver signing? That the hash doesn’t match is not a problem with the modifications you made, it’s simply the driver signing still being active.
