I installed Windows Server 2012 yesterday in VirtualBox, now the 2012 VM shows the network adapter as not found.

  • I updated my virtual box to latest version and installed guest additionals still same problem.
  • I restarted it and tried changing NAT to different options still got same error.
  • I tried enabling 4 of 4 adapters, still same problem.

At the moment I have a Windows Server 2003 Virtual Machine and a Windows 7 Virtual Machine they all have internet without any additional configuration, why am I having a trouble with 2012 server? I just need to setup a static IP, I dont care about internet.

    Maybe because Windows Server 2012 isn't listed as a supported guest OS?: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VBox_vs_Others – joeqwerty Jul 17 '12 at 11:58
  • I thought so as well, but on our actual development there was a architect who deployed Server 2012 on Virtual box already, unfortunately he left company tho :/ –  Jul 17 '12 at 12:00
  • Well, try cramming some NIC drivers in there, then. Maybe Server 2008 drivers will work. Maybe not, but if they don't, it's just as broken as it was before you tried, right? – HopelessN00b Jul 17 '12 at 18:54

I actually found that changing the adapter to Intel PRO/1000 MT Server worked. The Intel PRO/1000 T Server still didn't work for me so it would probably be best to try using both of them and see if one of them works for you.

The Intel PRO/1000 MT Server network option worked for me as well. Ubuntu host OS, virtualbox from the repos. The Intel PRO/1000 T Server option did not work.
