Today I Replaced a mainboard of my Hyper-V cluster for a better one. after booting up the new hardware wizzard poped up the wizzard found new hardware. I had a Driver DVD ready but what is this no driver disk is needed the driver installation was a automatic process find the hardware and downloaded the driver from the windows driver catalog.
Sure there are hardware items that can’t be found. that is where the driver DVD is needed.
But one thing I changed is the following on the New hardware icon and double clicked it and there was a setting always use the driver catalog. I did not make a screen shot ;-( I tried to reproduce the settings but I’m not able to do this. But remember this you can change this setting Below are the shots of downloading the drivers.
As you can see in the screen shots the driver is downloaded. Cool !
