HP Probook 430 G8 System MAC not passing through USB Type-C Dongle

@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth

Just wanting to update this post as it’s been a while. I have been working with HP support and they still have not fixed this issue (expect for the previously mentioned installer that only works in Windows).

I hope everyone has a Great Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

I will continue to work off and on until January 5th when we return to school. If I don’t get anywhere with HP prior to that, I won’t be updating this.

Thanks again!

Michael

@michaeloberg Ok thank you for the update. I haven’t had time to dig into the script to where it checks in with the FOG server and to see why its failing. The “hack” that I did with the network boot up script to replace the mac address should hold through the imaging process. I think from the fog side we can get this moving even if HP doesn’t have a solution. I just need a few quite hours around the holiday to look at what its doing wrong. I think we are close to a solution, though.

Thank you for the update and have a splendid holiday with your family.

@michaeloberg I know this is an old topic, but there’s a piece that I noticed missing in all the instructions:

At registration time, the domacset flag isn’t set, so it would use the non-passed through device.

Please see this post:

it should help as there is a “global” method to set domacset regardless of if the device is registered or not and I suspect that will FIX the problem for new devices.

I’m sure you’ve worked around this by now, but just wanted to make it informed.
