Description of problem: Windows Server 2019 was announced on March 20, 2018. Create and populate a directory structure for drivers that matches how we support drivers in other Windows releases.
Our current Windows 10 virtio-win drivers support Windows Server 2019.
Should we close this as NOTABUG?
Please open bug for RHV Windows Guest Tools ISO if new drivers need to be added within the ISO. Thanks.
Created attachment 1499497 [details] Windows Server 2019 doesn't accept the NetKVM driver Can you please link me te RHV Windows Guest Tools ISO bug report? The following instructions are no longer true for Windows Server 2019: https://access.redhat.com/articles/2470791 First of all, 99% of the devices don't show up anymore in the "Other devices" group, which makes finding them very difficult. If I right click the .inf file and I manually select "Install" (as suggested here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2012_guest_best_practices) nothing happens. Take for example the NetKVM driver: if I right click the "Intel PRO/1000 MT Network Connection" device, then "Update driver" and selecting the virtual CD-ROM with latest virtio-win the driver doesn't show up. If I try to manually pick the driver from the NetKVM folder it does show up, but Windows complains (see attached screenshot). I'm pretty sure that we need updated drivers and updated instructions for Windows Server 2019.
My fault, I have two similar VMs and I was looking at the one with non-virtio drivers. Works perfectly with Windows Server 2019.

So, as Li Jin pointed in Bug 169567 comment 9, this is not just a matter of copying the w10 driver into a new folder. We need to have the driver signed for W2k19, and this didn't happened yet. Li Jin, do you have an estimate about when this is going to happen?

Fixed in: virtio-win-1.9.7-0.el7
verify with virtio-win-1.9.7-0.el7: win2019 drivers exist in both /usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/, virtio-win-1.9.7_servers_amd64.vfd and virtio-win-1.9.7.iso So change status to verified
We need a clone. I'm wondering why this wasn't cloned. @Jeff, shouldn't this be done automagically?
