How To Quickly Get The MAC Address of any Windows PC on Your Network

Did you know you can get any Windows computer’s MAC address without leaving your chair?

Simply open a command prompt and type:

getmac /s viper

If you are not on a domain, you may have to use the /U switch and pass the name of an administrator account on the other computer.

getmac /s <machine> /u <username> /p <password>

If you have issues with that, you can always use the arp command. You can use the ping command to figure out the IP address of a computer name, and then use this syntax:

arp -a <ipaddress>

There are probably a lot of other ways to get the information, but this will work.
