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).
