Windows Server 2019 LTSC Intel Networking Drivers - When???
Dell - you already have Windows Server 2019 LTSC listed as a supported operating system for PE R740 and R730 servers:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/supportedos/poweredge-r730
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/supportedos/poweredge-r740
But there still are no Server 2019 LTSC drivers shown for the Intel NIC Family Adapters. When will these be available?
If a customer requests that you load Server 2019 LTSC onto a R740 before shipping to them, which driver do you use?
Thanks,
DELL-Daniel My

Hello
I show that we have an 18.8.1 driver package that is used for 2019. It looks like a repackaged version of 18.8.0 that has had server 2019 added to the compatibility list. 19.0 will have server 2019 support. Neither of these have been pushed to our download site.
The 18.8.0 driver for 2012/2016 should work with 2019. If the installer has an OS check then you may need to unpack it and install the driver manually.
Thanks

Has there been any progress on the v19 Intel drivers? We are anxious to upgrade off of Server 2016 and it's horribly lengthy Windows Update times.

We do not typically provide information about firmware and drivers before they are released. I don't have a release schedule for the Intel 19 drivers. They are still in the development stage, so it does not appear they will be releasing soon. It usually takes a few weeks or maybe longer when they get to the release stage, and they are not at that stage yet.
