Simon,
Thanks a lot!!!
I had same problem while installing windows sbs 2011 in a motherboard DH61BE which includes Ethernet Gigabit Intel® 82579V. I followed your instructions with a little difference:
1.- I used the drivers that came in the CD with the motherboard.
2.- The inf file that I modify was: /PRO1000/Winx64/NDIS62/e1c62x64.inf
3.- Here you can see lines after the modification, there are some differences in the Intel.NTamdXX.X.X because of win 7 64-bit and win server 2008 64-bit but basically the procedure is just the same that you already explained...
; e1c62x64.INF (Intel 64-bit extension Platform Only,
; Windows 7 64-bit extension and Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit extension)

I've got alot of inputs to solve my problem from this tree. But the whole answer isn't here. The answers and tips is for older network adapters that I've got. So if you SBS 2011 installation still don't recognize your intel network adapter do like this.
Use the filetree and find elc62x64.inf. Open it with the texteditor.
Rightclick the unistalled network adpater in the devicelist and click the tab information.
(I only have swedish version so I don't know the english names)
Second option in that list give you the id's of your card and probably thos are missing in the file.
Third option gives you compatible id's that probably also is missing.
I took all of them and added in the file. Just to be shure that SBS2011 installation should find the driver. (I was ****** after trying 12 hours)
And vola, heureka it did. My complete (probably totally incorrect) working list looked like this.

Ups... I did it again... Sorry, I wanted to delete my first message, and as I can see this was the false step, because all the other messages were connected to it.
Someone had answered to my prays (OrangeWing: http://communities.intel.com/people/OrangeWing).
However, here it is once again
DRIVER Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network (Windows Server 2008 R2 + Windows Server SBS 2011)
Unzip the file, and go to:
APPS/
SETUP/
SETUPBD/
Winx64/
SetupBD.exe (double click)
I'm terrible sorry, Orange Wings, and thanks again!
It works perfect... 
+1 for Simon's solution - you're a magician sir!
(Actually I took the gist of his post - the filenames are slightly different in the latest versions, but the crux is to add 1503 lines and remove the lines from Control).
Thanks a lot! Poor intel - next board is surely without any intel chipset!!!
Hi, regarding your post
I am attempting to apply your solution to the case of Windows Home Server 2011 to an Intel desktop board with the 82579.
Can you tell me the appropriate lines to add into the inf file, name of file and name of the folder /sub folders it should be in.
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris
Home Server 2011 is based on Server 2008 so the solution I described should work fine; updating to the current version(17.1) you should download http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18720/eng/PROWinx64.exe and extract with a suitable zip program.
Navigate to PROWinx64\PRO1000\Winx64\NDIS62 and find e1c62x64.inf when you look in the file you can see that all Intel have done is alter the Server2008 section such that certain network chipsets don't get detected:

What I do above is remove everything from the [ControlFlags] section but leave the header; then you need to look at the next section down, the device you have is in the E1503 section which you can see is missing from the [Intel.NTamd64.6.1] section.
All you need to is copy the 6 lines with E1503 in from the [Intel.NTamd64.6.1.1] section; you should end up with:

All this time, and it still works! Thank you, kind sir!!!!
Thanks Simon, yet again... still works with 17.3 drivers, since 16.3 are no longer avail from Intel website.

hi sushoban
recently i bought a dh77kc board, and i installed win server 208 r2 enterprise. when i was trying to install lan drivers it is showing the error : can you please help me. and i downloaded drivers from Download Center
If your BIOS version is 104, consider updating to v.105.
With BIOS v. 104 the ethernet device of my DH77KC was disabled. With BIOS v. 105 it was re-enabled. It's not mentioned in the v. 105 Release Notes, but seems to be the case nonetheless.
