Drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

PE1950, 2950 and MD3000i MPIO on Windows Server 2008 R2

We're trying to nail a few dates to migrate our W2K8 R2 platform and plan the project.  We have most of our technical plans in place, and we have the code.  We have no Dell drivers however and there are several suspicious communications from Dell on this topic...

Case #1: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/insideit/archive/2009/08/10/ready-for-the-transition-dell-provides-support-for-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

Note:

  • Our engineers have missed on countless piano recitals, songs and episodes of American Idol while spending thousands of hours of testing and validation to make sure that dy products Dell running Windows Server 2008 R2 are the business-rea.
  • We have pilot complete support for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Dell hardware so you can deploy, run and manage easily. You can go here to download the drivers.

If you view the service labels in our support of similar product groups, you will find an R2 option for servers... but the only public services on the PowerVault MD3000i you don't find any reference to R2 at all.

Case #2: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Supportted+Dell+PowerEdge+Systems+for+Microsoft+Windows+Server+2008+R2+Beta

This is a list of Beta for PE obviously compatible servers, however it would make sense If Microsoft has included natively the right drivers for the Dell hardware in the distribution of Microsoft R2 RTM so, just can't find any supporting documentation and do not know if the network drivers are compatible with MD3000i.

#3: There are a few hacks to get drivers Windows 2008 MPIO inherited working with the RC R2 & MD3000i on this forum, but no reference to R2 in the MD3000i matrix and nothing on the site... it's why, we have wondering again where are the good drivers for R2 RTM?

Can you be it someone from Dell and or this forum please send information on these issues?

#1: driver compatibility of matrix for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on PE1950 and connected to an MD3000i PE2950 is a supported configuration?  (Code R2 RTM was released to Microsoft volume license customers)

#2: the network drivers for the host machines included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM?  If this is true, are the drivers MPIO for MD3000i and iSCSI Dell other platforms included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM as well then?

#3: If all the answers are not questions #1 and #2... could someone PLEASE contact people of pilot certification on Dell to see if they are same in QA at this point, if they plan to update and display an estimated date of implementation?  We have contacted tech support, but received very vague answers on anything with R2 at this stage.  There is a business directory and a path to escelation for support tickets, but the midrange as this makes it much easier to share information for the masses, we just have not yet found.

Thanks for your information, comments and your support!

I was finally sent to someone who could give me some information on this within Dell, here's what they said:

PE 1950/2950 drivers:

The pilot should be included natively in Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and if so, would these drivers would be supported by Dell in a production scenario.

MD3000i:

I know that we will not issue a new MDSM which will fund 2008 R2 until sometimes in October. The MD3000i requires MPIO to the MD3000i and Dell drivers driver installation to work properly. I'll see if there is other information that I can find. I understand your frustration and engineer told me that this has been corrected in the next MDSM and MD3000i firmware version in October.

So, it looks like October before MD3000i will be supported.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

    I bought a HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I might have a machine that is affordable, yet powerful enough to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).

    It came with Windows 8, but I need Windows Server 2008 R2, I own through an MSDN subscription.  I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted and installed the new operating system.

    I have almost all devices work fine, but it still does not recognize the USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth device.  I looked everywhere but could not find something that works.  Whatever it either from the HP site is targeted for Windows 7 or 8 and trying one of those, it tells me "your system does not meet the requirements of the operating system" and MSI publishes all the drivers for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).

    Motherboard: MSI MS-7778, also known under the name of: MSI 2AEO version 1.0

    BIOS: FRIEND 8.12

    Here is the list of "other devices" in Device Manager that Windows does not recognize:

    BCM20702A0

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    Bluetooth device ID: USB\VID_0A5C & PID_21F1 & REV_0012

    USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7812 & SUBSYS_2AE0103C & REV_03

    Windows doesn't always recognize them after allowing him to look on the internet.

    I googled everywhere and I'm not getting anywhere.

    Does anyone have advice?

    Any chance that this could be linked to the BIOS?

    I'm not having any chance to find a BIOS download for this motherboard either.

    Any help is very appreciated!

  • Pavilion p6110t CTO Desktop: drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HARD drive problems

    Recently, I had the hard drive with my OS failure. After replacing the hard drive and reinstall windows server 2008, I seem to have encountered some problems with drivers.  After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that not have installed correctly. I could get the driver for the LAN port to work, but I did not get the driver to "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus controller". After a little research, I believe that the graphics card is a Radeon HD4350. With this information, I still have been unable to toinstlal the correct drivers or the other of these elements. I tried several drivers listed on the support page of the drivers on the HP website, but all fo return them the same error of not finding the right operating system. The link to the driver, I used initially on my previous installation seems is no longer valid.

    Also, I can't access two additoinal hard disks (sata connected). They were used with the previous installation of windows without any problem. They appear in the Device Manager but do not show in my computer. A removable disk appears that I don't know what it is. Previously I used the software to mirror one of the disks on the other in order to avoid the loss of data if a disk fails. Is one of the above players with not be able to access the drives causing the problem or the software used before the problem?

    Any help on these questions is greatly appreciated.

    Ok.

    I can't help you with the readers then.  It is out of my area of knowledge.  If they are healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that's all that I know these should be reported.

    As for the graphics drivers...

    Download and install this free utility for files.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    After installing 7 - zip, right-click on the graphic driver file and select 7 - zip from the list of options.

    Choose 7-zip to extract to: and leave it to unzip the file in a folder.  I have it extracted the file name of the file.

    Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.

    Of course that you you first go to where 7 - zip extract the folder and continue from there.

  • Satellite L650D - need drivers for Win server 2008

    Laptop model: Satellite L650D-PSK1SA-03E014

    before that I installed win7 32 bit OS.

    Now I want to change to 64-bit, but he says still no startup disk after the completion of copy and restart.
    I use the recovery disk that I burned after that I bought and used the System Restore Wizard.

    So I decide to install win Server 2008 r2 64-bit, installation is successful, but some hardware drivers can be find and install from the Web site.
    (I use win7 64-bit drivers, I read online, a guy said that it works on his laptop, but do not know why it does not work for me.)

    should I take the laptop to the support center and ask them to install the drivers for me?
    I'm not sure that this service is covered by the warranty or not.

    Or I can ask them to install win7 64 bit OS for me?

    Does anyone have the link to the drivers for win Server 2008 r2 64-bit?
    Thank you very much!

    As much as I know Win server 2008 is not supported by Toshiba, so you will not be able to find the drivers for it. Toshiba offers support for OS preinstalled only and possibly an upgrade if your laptop model is supported for the new OS.
    Warranty has nothing to with Win server 2008 so I think that guys will not be helpful for you. What they can do is to check if the original recovery image can be installed or not. If this is not the case, there may be a hardware problem.

    May I ask if there is a compatible driver for HP Deskjet Adv 2060 for Windows Server 2008 x 64. ?

    Thank you very much.

    Hey Ryan,

    This kind of low printers end support client operating systems only, it supports all print server OS or Citrix or RDP.

    You can find the printer specifications below, only the operating system on the system Rquiredments are supported:

  • Color LaserJet Ent M553dn: HP Laserjet Enterprise M553dn PCL6 x 64 drivers for Windows Server 2003

    Just bought a HP Laserjet Enterprise M553dn and was able to install the drivers for Windows Server 2003 x 86 driver disc supplied with the printer, but I cannot locate the drivers for Windows Server 2003 x 64.

    I checked the site hp.com, but what they have there is PCL5 x 64 drivers, which gives me a 'printer driver is not installed. Message operation could not be completed.

    Just for fun, I tried to download the drivers for PCL6 Windows 7 x 64, and trying to set up the printer with these, but it gives me a message "Windows is unable to locate a suitable printer driver.

    Where can I find the Windows Server 2003 PCL6 drivers x 64?

    Thank you!

    As any pcl6 driver will work, why not just load any pcl6 64-bit driver that is built into the operating system.  Simply choose hp on the left and choose any color laserjet 64-bit driver on the right.  If none is available, download the driver 64 bit hp universal pcl6.  When loading the driver do not have system autodect the printer but load the driver manually.

    What to do now. Can you please provide?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The same driver as expected for any operating system like Windows 7 or 8 must be used, however, the installation should be launched via the command line and not as a standard installation.

    Follow these steps to install the software of the printer on a server:
