Save a copy of the drivers you had to install in the appropriate Drivers directory on the management node:
/usr/local/vcl/tools/<WindowsWindows<_...>/Drivers*
 
There are multiple Windows* Windows<_...> directories under /usr/local/vcl/tools. The names create a hierarchy so that files which can be used by multiple versions of Windows only need to be stored in a single location on the management node.  There are 3 levels that make up the hierarchy:

...

The directory organization under each Drivers directory does not matter.  However, it's recommended that they be organized by device type:

  • /usr/local/vcl/tools/<WindowsWindows<_...>/Drivers/Chipset*
  • /usr/local/vcl/tools/<WindowsWindows<_...>/Drivers/Network*
  • /usr/local/vcl/tools/<WindowsWindows<_...>/Drivers/Storage*
  • /usr/local/vcl/tools/<WindowsWindows<_...>/Drivers/Video*

For example, after testing several drivers you determine the following:

Some Windows installations, especially Windows 6.x, have trouble properly routing outward network traffic if there are multiple network interfaces.  If you can not get to the Internet from the Windows computer, try setting set the private network interface to ignore default routes, which causes all outward traffic not destined for the private network to be sent through the public interface:

  1. Open a command prompt (this must be done as Administrator under Windows 6.x):
    Start > All Programs > Accessories > right-click Command prompt > Run as Administrator
  2. Determine the name of the private interface from using ipconfig
    (should be either "Local Area Connection" or "Local Area Connection 2")
  3. Execute the command using the private interface name from step 2:
    netsh.exe interface ip set interface "<private interface name>" ignoredefaultroutes=enabled
    • The command should display Ok.
  4. Attempt to access the Internet again
