Show non-present devices in device manager

Friday, August 15, 2008 4:44:00 PM

Run the following from a command prompt:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt

Once Device Manager opens, you may have to select Show Hidden Devices from the View menu.

I use this usually after someone has removed NIC’s from a server and not reset their configuration prior to removal causing pesky messages about another nic in the same machine using the same IP or gateway.
