Collect hardware and device drivers needed for the installation

  • Article

Before you start deploying your MultiPoint Services system, you will need:

  • Hardware components for the server - Install any additional video cards or other system components at this time.

  • Hardware components for the stations - For information about planning stations for your environment, see Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System.

  • The latest drivers for your video cards - If your OEM or device manufacturer did not supply these, you will need to download them from the device manufacturer's website.

  • The latest USB zero client drivers - If you are using USB zero client stations, you must install the latest USB zero client drivers.

    Important

    For a MultiPoint Services installation, you must install the 64-bit version of any drivers.

Tip

If you are installing MultiPoint Services on a computer with a different version of Windows already installed, you should find out the video card make and model in Device Manager before you start the Windows Server installation and ensure you can get drivers which are available for Windows Server 2016. Open Device Manager, open Computer Management from the Start screen. Then, in the console tree, click Device Manager.
