Windows 2012 installation on HP DL380 Gen8 with HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366i Adapter

Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently installing Windows 2012 Server onto HP ProLiant DL380 Gen8 servers with the HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366i Adapter.  I am noticing that the "order" of the network ports is always off, meaning, NIC1 is not always represented as Adapter 1 in the OS.  This is pretty random with a few installs, NIC2 is Adapter 4 so on and so on.  When I uninstall the adapters via the Windows Device Manager they come in randomly as well.

 

Has anyone else experienced this with Windows 2012 Server?  I have installed the August Windows 2012 Server Rollup as well as the Sept. HP SPP. 

 

Thanks for the help.
