I think that on some Dell servers you can control the MAC. I might be wrong though.

I did ours by setting an interface metric of >1 on the NIC that I didn't want to be the primary. I just like to know if this is the correct way of doing it or is there a better way? --- On Tue, 7/22/08, Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Server ID Mysteriously Changed - To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 10:18 AM ** Are there multiple NICs on the server? If so, and the box got restarted, it's possible that the "other" one got designated as the primary.

I checked and it appeared our Server ID had changed, thus invalidating our server license. I thought only a hardware change to the box would cause a Server ID/MAC address change. I asked around and our hardware group says they didn't change anything. We don't have any virtual environments that would generate a dynamic MAC address. Does anybody have any idea what would cause this server id to change? I am perplexed.
