Network Drivers Not Installing

So I'm working on our first Windows 7 deployment in View, and I'm running into a problem with installing network drivers.

I'm using the VMXNET 3 NIC in the base image, but when new desktops are composed, the network driver wont install and provisioning fails. If I log in to one of the machines from the console, NIC is sitting in "Other devices" in the device manager, like it hasn't picked up drivers. When I right-click and tell it to update the driver, it picks up the VMXNET 3 driver right away and installs, fixing the issue.

Why isn't Windows doing this automatically like it should? I can't provision VMs without this as part of the provisioning process requires contacting the View Agent on the VM (and with no NIC, that's a bit difficult).

Hi,

For  :   Virtual network adapter :  VMXNET 3

To use this adapter,  Install  Microsoft hotfix patch

Hi,

Both the logs. Can you attach it here. Also give me approximate time stamp  when you composed it. If you can reproduce the issue and collect this logs.

Share your VMware view setup detail.

Just freshly provisioned this machine - it is sitting at Error status in View Manager (that is, until I go in and manually tell it to grab the driver).

The View setup is pretty basic - two test pools, View 5.1.2, and Windows 7 desktops that are non-persistent. The strange thing is that the network driver works just fine on the parent VM, and when adding another NIC from the "Edit virtual machine settings", the new NIC is detected and set up immediately.

I've been a View consultant for almost four years, and I've never run into this issue (then again, almost all my installs were XP).

Hi,

I reviewed the logs that you have uploaded, I dont see any failure for vmxnet3 driver installation. I see all are successful.

I think you got this logs  once you installed vmxnet3 driver manually. Can you collect the logs immediatly after recompose and then install the driver .

Also use this Windows 7 optimziation guide

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View-OptimizationGuideWindows7-EN.pdf

======================================================

Here is log snippet from setupapd.dev.log , you can track the installation of vmxnet3 through this key word "
