Greetings forum members,
hope you all enjoyed a peaceful christmas.
I need some advice on finding suitable network adapter drivers for an installation of Windows Server 2019 on an ASRock B360M Pro4 motherboard.
Most components in my system are detected allright and I can boot to a Windows Server desktop. However, none of the onboard network adapters (Intel I-219V Ethernet Controller, Intel AC 9560 WLAN Adapter with Bluetooth) is recognized by the Windows Server installation.
All attempts at manually installing drivers failed with either the driver complaining about there being no Intel(R) components present (Ethernet), or the driver installing but leaving unidentified component entries in Windows device manager (WLAN, BT).
The following driver versions were used in my installation attempts:
- LAN, WLAN, and BT-drivers from the driver CD accompanying the mainboard
- updated LAN-driver from the ASRock Web site (as of 12/23/2018)
- up-to-date drivers directly from https://downloadcenter.intel.com, specifically
- Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows Server 2019 v23.5 of 12/06/2018(https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28396/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-Server-2019-?product=36773)
- Intel PROSet Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows 10 v20.100.0 of 12/19/2018 (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28358/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-Windows-10?product=59485)
- Intel Wireless Bluetooth for Windows 10 v20.90.1 of 11/13/2018 (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28267/Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-for-Windows-10?product=59485)
Yes, I do have the CNVi companion module installed in the correct M.2 slot and I did use only the x64 driver variants if available.
Windows 10 1809 installs without a glitch on my system - including the network adaters - so I can mostly rule out a hardware defect.
So has anybody successfully installed drivers on an ASRock board for these or similar onboard Intel network adapters under a recent Windows Server OS (2019 or 2016)?
TIA,
JOEH
