I'm testing enrolling a Proxmox Windows 10 VM in MS AutoPilot and the HWID keeps changing on me after a reboot.
Has anyone else tried this? Haven't seen such behavior on hyper-v.

Hi,

I don't know these MS tools, but I guess it has something to with the way Windows identify networks.
The point is the vmbr in Proxmox VE is gets a random MAC address every time it comes up.
Try to assign a static MAC address to the vmbr

edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 net ....
.

.
post-up ip link set dev vmbr0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
 
Sorry for the late reply, I've made the addition but the hwid keeps changing between reboots.
