Server 2012R2: A TDI filter (\Driver\FireTDI) was detected. This filter has not been certified by Microsoft and may cause system instability.

[Freddy Lao]

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help me out for the below issue I encountered yesterday.

Story:

recently I upgraded my server from 08R2 to 2012R2. running for a few days and suddenly it went into problem about losing Network connectivity.

the issue fixed by rebooting the server, the network connection resumed afterwards.

I reviewed the system log and found the below to be relevant. however, I cannot find a resolution to this issue, only can find a hotfix for 08R2 machine.
