Hello,
I have been attempting to figure out how to added a E1000E NIC to a Windows Server 2012 VM and have been wildly unsuccessful. None of the current 5.1 PowerCLI documentation even references it's existence. When I use the Get-NetworkAdapter it returns the E1000E NICs as "Unknown." I tried adding a NIC with a -Type of "Unknown" and it just added a regular "VMXNET" NIC.
I am testing against 5.0.0(Build 821926) hosts which can deploy Server 2012 with E1000E NICs via vCenter and PowerCLI 5.0.1 & 5.1 with the same results. Any information you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated as I am out of ideas at the moment.
Cheers!
