MAC Address Range Targeting

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2

A MAC Address Range targeting item allows a preference item to be applied to computers or users only if any of the processing computer's MAC addresses are within the range specified in the targeting item. If Is Not is selected, it allows the preference item to be applied only if none of the processing computer's MAC addresses are within the range specified in the targeting item.

MAC address range

The range against which the processing computer's MAC addresses are compared. Range starting points and ending points are inclusive. You can specify a single address by typing the same value in both boxes.

Additional considerations

  • To reposition a targeting item within the list of targeting items that you have applied to a preference item, either drag the targeting item to a new position, or select the targeting item and then click the Move Up arrow or Move Down arrow.

  • Preference items are available only in domain-based GPOs.
