Hi,
I use VMware Server 1.0.3 build-44356. One of my virtual machines is a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition. The virtual network adapter is listed as Intel PRO/1000 MT Adapter. Windows uses its built in driver e1g5132e.sys with version 8.1.8.0.
On the server Exchange Server 2007 is installed including the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 agent. The Exchange Server MOM management pack now reports regularly that the device driver is older than two years. To avoid that warning I would like to update the driver. On the Intel website a new driver with version 12.2 and release date 7/10/2007 is available for download.
Is it safe to use that new Intel driver for the NIC inside the VM?
Kind regards,
Dominik
