Good idea, you could also enable Wlan feature and put a cheap usb wifi adaptator for about 10$.

Ok, seems Intel 82579V (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1503&SUBSYS_00008086&REV_05) is geared to workstation & not server. How petty of Intel not to include it with their server drivers.

 

Usually a simple mod to the inf is enough

Intel is not new to such things. Say the core 2 vgas are tied to older win vista/7, although they are working perfectly even on w10

In such case you need to change

Code:

[Manufacturer]%Intel%   = IntelGfx, NTamd64.5.1, NTamd64.6.0, NTamd64.6.2 

[IntelGfx.NTamd64.5.1]; no install on XP
[IntelGfx.NTamd64.6.2]; no install on Win8

to

Code:

[Manufacturer]%Intel%   = IntelGfx, NTamd64

It includes Windows Defender by default, like Windows 10. To be av free, you need to disable.

 

You can uninstall it on wserver, not just disable like w10

After you load the inf...the list does not show 82579V driver to choose from.
If code is correct and you point to the inf file....82579V driver is listed and ready to install.
