23.5 Vlans break Windows Powershell Get-NetAdapter

[CHead1]

Hello. Windows 1809.

1. Get-NetAdapter works fine.
2. Install Intel 23.5, Get-NetAdapter still works fine.
3. Create a VLAN, Get-Netadapter fails. (error below)
4. I believe (but can't remember) after removing VLANs get-netadapter works again.
5. Restored to system point and rechecked. Reproducible.
6. sfc /scannow shows no issues. the wbem repository check says it is consistent.

Error:

PS C:\Users\dingo> Get-NetAdapter

Get-NetAdapter : The data is invalid.

Hello DrJustice and CUllr,

Good day!

We received an update from our development team that the issue is fixed in the upcoming 25.3 Release.

The 25.3 release is currently in Production Candidate status and waiting for Post Validation. This should occur in the next couple of weeks. Once PV status we will publish to download center.

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Is 25.3's ANS going to support Windows 10 2009?

[DrJustice]

Thanks!

[Caguicla_Intel]

Hello CUllr,

Please allow me to confirm your question with our engineers. We will get back to you as soon as possible but no later than 2-4 business days.

Hello DrJustice and CUllr,

Good day and I hope you are doing fine!

Intel® Ethernet Adapter Driver Pack Version: 25.3 is already available for downloads. This includes the fix for this issue. We hope you don't mid trying it out and send us an update for the result.

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22283/Intel-Ethernet-Adapter-Complete-Driver-Pack?product=139349

By the way, please be informed that 25.3 will not officially support Windows 20H2. Likely the release version following this one will bring support for the next iteration of Windows 10.

We look forward to your reply.

Should there be no response from you, we will follow up after 3 business days.

Hello,

yes, 25.3 appears to fix the WMI issue. I installed it over 25.2 on a computer that was having the issue and WMI/PS started working.

It is of course unfortunate, though not unexpected, that it does not work with 2009; I just hope that whatever the next version will be does not regress (again) in regard to this WMI bug.

Hello!

I just downloaded and installed the 25.3 driver for my i219-LM NIC. Unfortunately this update still doesn't fix my issue. As soon as you create a VLAN, executing Get-NetAdapter as Administrator still reports:

PS C:\scripts\Net> Get-NetAdapter
Get-NetAdapter : The data is invalid.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-NetAdapter
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (MSFT_NetAdapter:ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapter) [Get-NetAdapter], CimE
xception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 13,Get-NetAdapter

After deleting the VLAN again, Get-NetAdapter works fine. I completely uninstalled the Intel drivers, rebooted and then installed everything from scratch, but it didn't help. Same error message!

I have given up, to tell you the truth. I'll be unsubscribing to this thread because it's getting ridiculous at this point.

It is unbelievable, actually, that Intel can produce amazing technology - I'm talking hardware that just by itself powers almost all of the world - yet can't seem to get a handle on a driver.

I'll just go ahead and purchase multi-gig hardware and be done with it, even though it's not what I wanted to do.

Hallo Crisselle!

winver reports:

Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.1667)

Does that new Intel driver version really solve this issue for everyone beside me?

BR,

Sven

[Caguicla_Intel]

Hello Sven,

Thank you for the reply.

The fix on this issue is incorporated on SW release 25.3. This should work for you and for everyone. But don't worry, I will further check this with our engineers and let them know that you are still facing the same problem.

We will get back to you as soon as we heard from them but no later than 2-4 business days.

Hoping for your kind patience.

Hello DrJustice,

Appreciate your reply. 

We do apologize for the inconvenience. We understand that you are frustrated and tired of this issue. I assume that you are still having the same issue even after trying out the latest driver. Rest assured that this will be communicated with our higher level.

Hi.

Actually, your assumption would be incorrect.

I don't know if the issue got fixed for my system with 25.3.  I just gave up.

I went on ebay and bought a bunch of Mellanox ConnectX-3 for 50$ each, a microtik switch and I now have 10GigE problem solved without the black-magic-voodoo of trying to team nics together.

[Caguicla_Intel]

Hello All,

I hope you're doing well.

I already reported that the issue still occurs on 25.3 to our engineers. They do appreciate your effort in reporting this. We understand your frustration on this matter and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured that this issue is still under investigation.

Hello,

logs attached.

As for the installation steps, I'm not sure I can remember what I did exactly. My earlier post says I installed 25.3 over 25.2, so that's probably what I did, i.e. I installed 25.3 without first uninstalling 25.2.

I have also attached the event log entries related to the installation, few though they are.

[Caguicla_Intel]

Hello CUllr,

Good day!

We highly appreciate your effort in sending the information requested. This is indeed helpful in investigating this issue. 

Hello Sven,

After further checking, we have been informed that the fix for this issue is not included in versions of Windows 10 prior to RS5. 1803 is RS4. If you wish to pursue teaming, you will need to update to at least RS5 of Windows 10 and then apply the drivers.

Let us know if you have additional questions and clarifications. 

Hoping to hear from you soon.

We'll follow up after 3 business days in case we don't receive a reply.

Hallo Crisselle!

Thank you for the information. As I don't have any influence on updating Windows 10 to RS5 (company laptop) I just have to wait for it to happen. I'm glad that everything is fixed now...although I can't use it yet.

Thank you for your support!
