Since the VM may change its dynamic MAC address when it is shut down and restarted,

it is not known if this has a history, such as a record in SQL.

Hi,

Unfortunately, SCVMM does not natively keep a history of dynamic MAC addresses, but you can track changes by periodically logging the MAC addresses to a database or a file.

Here’s a basic approach using PowerShell:

Get the current MAC address:


Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM "YourVMName" | Select-Object VMName, MACAddress

Log the MAC address: You can create a script to run at regular intervals (e.g., using Task Scheduler) to log the MAC address to a file or a database.
