Disable renaming MACs managed in Intune

Question

Is there a setting within Intune which disables the ability for users to rename their MACs? Ideally, even if they are an administrator?

Thanks

Hello Jacob

In Microsoft Intune, you can control the ability to rename MAC addresses using the "Device restrictions" policy setting.

Here's how to do it:

1. In the Intune console, go to Devices > Configuration Profiles, and create a new profile or edit an existing one.
2. Click on Add > Settings > Devices > Device restrictions.
3. In the Device restrictions settings, scroll down to the Network & internet section.
4. Find the setting Allow MAC address renaming and toggle it to Off.
5. Click Save to save the changes to the profile.

@Jacob Derrick, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I don't find Intune has the policy setting to disable MAC address renaming. You can feedback in the following link to see if we can get this in the future.

Meanwhile, during my researching, I find a link describe the scripts to disable "Use Random MAC Addresses" for wifi. Maybe it can give you some help.
