I am using Microsoft Server 2008 R2 DHCP server role and have a pre-built scope. I am going to be installing linked clone vmware view desktops and want only my view desktops to grab DHCP not an existing physical machins or hardware... So i though I would just expand the scope and add a MAC filter in saying <br />
<br />
If the MAC has the first 4 out of 6 the same as 00:11:bb:22:**:** ; then assign if not, don't.<br />
<br />
No such luck. Can anyone explain where I can set this up using Server 2008 R2?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server Partial MAC address Filter

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
