The ATI ES1000 is a legacy VGA controller often found in older enterprise servers (such as Dell PowerEdge R610/R710, HP ProLiant G6/G7, and IBM System x series). | Issue | Impact | Mitigation | |
The Critical Issue: Windows Server 2016 was released long after support for the ES1000 ended. There is no official, native driver for the ATI ES1000 on Windows Server 2016 provided by AMD (formerly ATI) or the server vendors. | Set to 1280x1024 or lower
