Hi,
I do have a requirement and need to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an MATX woekstation setup and on aThinkPad T430s.
The most motivation to do that is protablity since I have to carry then at them to customer site to proform a proof of concept.
But as I inderstand, Lenovo does not have Windows Server 2012 R 2 drivers for some of its drivers for eg; finger printer scanner (important as it is part of the POC, wireless drivers (even I have install the WireLAN) feature and bluetooth drivers that official website does not support.
For the mATX desktop, I also understand ASUS website does not have Windows Server 2012 r2 drivers for their workstation mobo, even worst as no drivers for quite a few stuff, Ethernet, bluetooth (require for POC with the laptop), USB 3, etc which the offical website does not support.
The mATX desktop is a DIY with a xeon cpu x99 mobo 32GB ram and a pci-e 256GB SSD.
I have a few copies of legal Windows Server 2012 r2 license brought originally for the DELL servers but I cannot everytime want POC, I drag them to customer place by myself.
Yes, it is not a must do but it will ne really good if I can do it.
Any ideas or advise?
Thank you.
