Examples
Example 1: Return an allocated MAC address to the MAC address pool
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup | where { $_.Path -eq "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" }
PS C:\> $MACAddressPool = Get-SCMACAddressPool -VMHostGroup $HostGroup
PS C:\> $MACAddress = Get-SCMACAddress -MACAddressPool $MACAddressPool[0]
PS C:\> Revoke-SCMACAddress $MACAddress[0]The first command gets the host group object at path "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.
The second commmand gets the MAC address pools for the host group stored in $HostGroup and stores the objects in the $MACAddressPool array.
The third command gets the allocated MAC addresses from the first MAC address pool stored in $MACAddressPool and stores the objects in $MACAddress.
The last command revokes the first MAC address stored in $MACAddress.
