How on earth do I update existing drivers on hyperv 2012 R2 server?

Hi,

I have a Windows 2012 R2 server, the one with no GUI(headless, main window launched by sconfig.cmd).

There are some broadcom drivers that need to be updated.

I downloaded win_b57_x64-17.2.0.2.zip from http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet-nic-netxtreme-i-server, extracted the files to a folder.

The files are:

b57nd60a.cat
b57nd60a.inf
b57nd60a.sys

Now how do I check the existing broadcom network driver version and update it with the latest one that I have downloaded?

I did some searching and come up with:

corefig
pnputil -i -a <driverinf>

But these utilities are mainly for installing new drivers.
What about updating?

I cannot run the device manager remotely from computer management on the hyperv host because I get an error and will not connect.

Can someone show me how to do this?

I wish that MS would have some documentation on how to do this, I could not find any.

Thank you.

Best regards
