Windows ISO

Apologize ahead of time as I am new to HP's processes. Have a Gen 8 DL360P server that has two failed drives. Replaced the RAID 1 volume with new drives and now trying to use the Intelligent Provisioning feature to reinstall the OS. Having trouble finding where I can download an HP Windows 2008R2 ISO to use for the installation. If someone could assist would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Erik

Hi,

Microsoft Windows Server ISO is not downloadable from HP.

Customer should have bought a copy of that OS from HP or Microsoft.

For other software downloads from HP, please visit http://software.hp.com

Thank You!

Thanks. Downloaded and installed the Windows .iso fine. Ran Smart Update Manager to update firmware fine. Only issue I have now, pilot error I assume, is how to update the Windows installation with the HP specific drivers for things like the e network card. When I go to Device Manager now, it is missing a ton of drivers that are HP specific. Realize it should be easy but for some reason I am stuck. Also, within windows I don't have network connectivity so I can't go to the HP site. Tried a few items nothing work?
