Hyper-V GPU Configuration - NVidia GRID K2 for on Microsoft Windows 2012 Hyper-V Core Server
I am configuring a GPU for group of Hyper-V Core servers.
I am following this guide MS guide:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16652.remotefx-vgpu-setup-and-configuration-guide-for-windows-server-2012.aspx
I am trying to get the NVidia drivers up to date first. So far I have run the Dell SUU which is reporting that Video_Driver__8CYK1_Win32_ 346.52.AD0 .exe is the one that needs to be use for the update.
I have tried to update the driver through Dell SUU (Server Update Utility) and also from within the package itself but errors out and the server is rebooted.
Doing some research I have found the following:
https://gridforums.nvidia.com/default/topic/281/grid-k2-on-microsoft-windows-2012-hyper-v-core-server/
But then discovered this post which seems to be discussing how to update the drivers for the NVidia card as well through nv_dispi.inf

I have extracted Video_Driver__8CYK1_Win32_ 346.52.AD0 .exe but I can't find any .inf there for me to use with the pnputil.
Anyone has any suggestions? Or ran into the same issue? This is a core version and can't get a full deployed.

Could you provide a link to the NVIDIA driver site please? I'll have a look at what's in the package and get back to you shortly.
Is the OS the freebie version Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 or Server installed in Core mode?

I do not have access to the servers right now I will post back tomorrow morning, however the servers are brand new 2012 R2 Core datacenter -Dell PE720 with Nvidia Grid K1 ( the card was purchased with the server). The dell update utility reports that the missing driver is the one that I have provided in the link.
Nothing else is deployed no other roles or features have been deployed at this point either.

By using Dell DSET and systeminfo I was able to find out that the drivers were installed. ell SUU kept reporting a missing driver but that one did not apply. Also the reason I could not enable GPU from Hyper-V Manager was because the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Role was not enabled. You need to deploy this in order to be able to enable GPU at the HV level.
