<pre><br />
For some systems or applications, you may need to uninstall the Microsoft<br />
IPMI driver, like this:<br />
* start Control Panel/System app<br />
* go to Hardware tab, start Device Manager<br />
* select View/Show Hidden Devices<br />
* go to "System Devices",<br />
* right-click "Microsoft Generic IPMI Compliant Device"<br />
* select Properties<br />
* on driver tab, click "Uninstall"<br />
* then reboot.<br />
If you are running Windows 2012, the Device Manager does not support this,<br />
so use these steps to disable the Microsoft IPMIDRV:<br />
* Start a command prompt with 'Run as administrator'<br />
* cd \windows\system32\drivers<br />
* move ipmidrv.sys ipmidrv.old<br />
* then reboot<br />
<br />
How to install Intel IPMI driver from the cached copy at http://ipmiutil.sf.net/kern/imbdrv130.zip <br />

> cd c:\temp<br />
> cd x86_64 (or 'cd ia32' if 32-bit Windows)<br />
> install.bat (DeviceSetup.exe install imbdrv.inf *IMBDRV)<br />
> driverquery (shows the drivers currently installed/running)<br />
