title: Force installing incompatible .inf driver in Windows Server 2019 Core
body: <p>I'm trying to install Server 2019 Core on my 6th generation NUC. Although the install goes fine, I'm reminded of the 'good old days' when it boots without any network connection.</p>
  
  <p>Now I have the correct driver (I219-V, dated October 2018 for Win10x64 containing the right VEN-DEV combination) that will work fine if I force the install using the GUI. But Windows considers it an incompatible driver and as such it won't install if I just supply the driver.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way, through the CLI or PoSh to <strong>force</strong> the driver to install on a specific device?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I also tried simply adding two lines into the inf file (since it already contains all the necessary instructions, they just disabled them), but the it becomes unsigned, so now I need to find a way to install unsigned drivers.</p>
