The ATI ES1000 is an older graphics (display) adapter often used in OEM servers or virtualized environments. There’s no official modern driver package from AMD for Windows Server 2016 specifically for the ES1000; compatibility typically relies on generic Microsoft display drivers, legacy ATI/AMD drivers for older Windows Server releases, or using drivers provided by the server vendor.
