Intel HD 2500 on Server 2008 R2 (or any Server OS)

[AZuck]

I have a machine that has integrated Intel HD 2500 graphics on it. I am able to find drivers for client OS's like Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, etc but nothing for Servers. They do detect the hardware appropriately and install but upon a reboot after installation the Windows logo starts and then everything goes black. Uninstalling the driver via Safe Mode brings Windows back up but using the Generic Graphics driver from Windows. Has anyone successfully been able to get HD 2500's to work under a server os?

A colleague found this link for me and it seems to work! Figured I would post up to let others know in case they run into the same issue.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Intel Customer Support.Based on the drivers available, it is not compatible. I would like to know what is the model number of you motherboard.faugub_intel # iwork4intel

The drivers from the Lenovo site I linked to seemed to work fine. For reference though the board is a DQ77KB with a Xeon E3-1265L v2.
