However, the problem is with the second scenario when there is no default and the filed is left empty. In the first case, where a default MAC value can be determined, this default host profile setting is not not a big deal. a new host booting via Auto Deploy), the wizard won’t be able to use the host’s configuration to determine a default MAC address, and as such the field will be left empty requiring the admin manually enter the value. If the host is unconfigured at the time the host profile is attached/applied (i.e.As such it will populate the field with a default value. If the host was manually configured prior to attaching/applying the host profile, the wizard will use the host’s configuration to detect a default MAC address.This is because the default setting for how a host profile determines the MAC address is set to “ Prompt the user for the MAC address if no default is available”. Or you may see the MAC Address fields populated with a default value.

I’ve been asked several times if there is a way to get a host profile to stop prompting for MAC addresses.
