IVMNetworkAdapter::IsEthernetAddressDynamic property

  • Article

[Windows Virtual PC is no longer available for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use the Hyper-V WMI provider (V2).]

Determines whether the Ethernet address is dynamically generated.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

HRESULT put_IsEthernetAddressDynamic(
  [in]          VARIANT_BOOL isDynamic
);

HRESULT get_IsEthernetAddressDynamic(
  [out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *isDynamic
);

Property value

Set to VARIANT_TRUE if the Ethernet address should be dynamically generated and VARIANT_FALSE if the Ethernet address is static.
