[NetKVM] Build NDIS6.x drivers using Visual Studio 2012 project only
Last modified: 2013-12-06 02:39:21 EST
Description of problem: Currently we have a mixed up build for our drivers. As Windows 8 DDK can work only through Visual Studio - we are building Windows 8 (Windows Server 2012) driver using new DDK. The older versions are build with Windows 7 DKK. This BZ is a placeholder for the move to compile all the NDIS6.x drivers (Vista and up) using Visual Studio 2012 only. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Seems md5 can not verify this issue for the older os (as the timestamp will change) . Could you show us a way to verify it ?Acceptance Test for win2k3 ?
Sorry but this one will be quite a lot of work. As we changed build system (build tools and packaging scripts) I think the following will be a good test case: 1. Test the driver packaging : 1.1. NetKVM driver should be packaged correctly for all the supported OSes: NetKVM.sys, NetKVM.inf and NetKVM.cat are present; for OSes Vista and up: readme.doc and netkvmco.dll present as well. 1.2. Test that the driver can be installed on every supported OS (maybe we should ask autotest group to do this test?). 2. Basic driver functionality 2.1. Installation - guest gets IP address. 2.2. Data transfer (receive\transmit). Best regards, Yan.
To all who are using test certificate (NetKVMTemporaryCert) - please reinstall it. Best regards, Yan.
