Hi All,
The4 data in SEP is really useful and in soime cases can be quicker to search than other systems. We really need to search on MAC addresses of machines as this will always tie down the correct machine as aopposed to an IP which can ofcourse get released. Is there any way to quickly search for MAC addresses in SEPM without having to still use the round about solution from 2011 below?
"" The only way I know to search for a client by MAC address is in a round about way. The MAC address for the client will show up in an exported 'Computer Status' log. Go to:
- Monitors
- Logs
- Log type: Computer Status
- Choose the appropriate other settings to your needs
- View Log
You can then export the list and there will be a MAC address column. Using excel to open it is the easiest. You could then find any other information about the machine that you can use to find the machine using the built in search function in the SEPM.
Hope this helps, but I know this is not exactly ideal. Like it was said above, the ability to search by MAC address in the SEPM does not currently exist (to my knowledge). """"
Cheers
