Preparing the .CSV file
Update the sample CSV file located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration
Manager\OSD\Lib\Packages\Deployment\Dell\PowerEdge\NetworkSetting\Samples\MACIPMap.csv by
adding a row for each of the targets.
NOTE: Ensure that the MAC address for each target matches the MAC address of the target’s NIC port that is connected
and active on the network.
NOTE: If EnableDHCP is true, the values of IPAddress, SubnetMask and IPGateway are ignored, but DNS fields are used
to set DNS Servers for both WinPE and post OSD network settings.
