The Intel drivers, PROSet, Advanced Network Service, Powershell Module, and Intel SNMP agent are *not* functioning whatsoever in Windows 2012 R2. I've tried an install on multiple machines using the latest 18.7 driver set and a after a clean install of Windows. I am able to get connectivity with limited features, using the built-in Microsoft ver. 12.6.47.1 March, 28, 2013 drivers. The error message at install states "Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) Adapters are present in this computer." My adapter is built onto the motherboard and resides at PCI bus 4 and 5. To troubleshoot this, I did verify the Windows Device Manager Service was started. I also checked the release notes in several previous releases to see if there are any possible work arounds. No luck. While I realize R2 was just released to the public this past month, it was in beta for quite some time. I hope a fix can be found. The Intel 82574L integrated network adapter is found on *almost* every server grade system I've ever worked on. Whether a supermicro, intel, or asus motherboard - this chip is certainly always present. This is a serious problem for Windows 2012 R2 users. I did not have the same issue on the non-R2 version.
