We have a two node server 2008 data center hyper-v cluster up and running with 43 virtual sessions. I have also stood up a new SCVMM server. If i bring the cluster under management of the SCVMM, will it change the mac address dynamically already assigned under the hyper-v servers? We have a virtual session that requires a static mac address, as a third party application requires license key to have mac address assigned in license key. My concern is if i bring cluster into SCVMM it will change the dynamic mac address assignment, even though I have it currently set on that session as static.

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
