Additionally, some network settings in the registry are reverted to their default values unexpectedly.

This problem occurs if you have applied some TCP-acceleration (TCP-A) and network direct memory access (NetDMA) settings before the upgrade.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove the following settings if you have applied them, and then upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2:
  • Subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    Entry:
    EnableTcpa
  • Subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    Entry:
    EnableDca
After you upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2, reapply these settings.
