How to get MAC Addresses from remote computers

By Fredrik Wall

When working with installation systems or other Network systems
you often need your users MAC Address.

You can ask the users to start cmd.exe and then do a ipconfig.exe /all.
If you have 100-5000 users this can be a whole year of work

Or you can open up powershell and use this little script:

 $strComputer = "."

$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration" -computername $strComputer |Where{$_.IpEnabled -Match "True"}

foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {

$objItem |select Description,MACAddress

}

Combine this script with a Active Directory script that will show all of your

computers and then Export it to a csv file and you have a good import file!
