Predefined IP Address mapping rules
Supported on PowerToys version 0.83.0 or later
What it does
This policy allows you to define IP Address mapping rules. If you enable this policy, you can define IP Address mapping rules that the user can't change or disable. Please enter one mapping per line in the format: "hostname IP" If you disable or don't configure this policy, no predefined rules are applied.
What it writes

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Registry key

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
- The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: MwbPolicyDefinedIpMappingsList
