The solution? Simply increase the MAC address pool, either in the GUI or in PowerShell. $AllNICs = Get-VM | Get-VMNetworkAdapter | Where-Object Running the script on my Hyper-V host, showing I have a few machines with duplicate MAC addresses. Cred goes to Didier Van Hoye for the loop logic. If you think you are having machines with duplicate MAC address, simply run this script on your Hyper-V host to find out. The PowerShell command (for copy and paste) is: Get-VMHost | Select MacAddressMinimum, MacAddressMaximum | ft Checking for duplicates Getting the MAC address pool via PowerShell. You can see/edit the MAC address pool in the virtual switch manager, or via PowerShell.

Especially if that other VM is still around. That means, once you deploy virtual machine number 257, it's going to reuse an existing MAC Address.

When installing Hyper-V, it' sets up a MAC Address Pool of only 256 machines. This time I figured that if I blog about it, I'm more likely to remember it next time 🙂 Background I forgot to increase the MAC Address pool on a new lab server, and started to get VMs with the same MAC address in my environment.
