How to find VM MACaddress history in SCVMM?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
