To set a static MAC address for a virtual machine, you can edit the configuration file of the virtual machine by using the vSphere Web Client.

Windows Vm For Mac

The ReconfigVM method does not care if the new MAC address is a valid VMware MAC address. It does not even seem to care if the new MAC address string is a valid hex MAC address. So, use with care - one would not want to break networking on their precious VM by setting its NIC to have an invalid MAC address, or a duplicate, etc. The maximum value for a manually generated MAC address is shown in the sample. Ethernet.address = 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF. You must also set the address type in a virtual machine’s configuration file. Ethernet.addressType='static' Because ESXi virtual machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses, you must use the example format.
