Find the network card mac address in Windows

Question

How can I find the network card mac address in Windows (7)?

Answer 1

I think it applies to any windows.

1. Open command window: [Win] + R, type CMD - press Enter
2. Type ipconfig /all

You will see all required info.

Answer 2

why not just try:

getmac /v

KISS Principal at play!

Answer 3

We use the MAC address in combination with Wake On Lan methods to power on machines remotely for updates etc etc.

Because no one thought to get MAC addresses before rolling out machines and we have no auto asset DB it was going to be a bit of a slow process to gather all the MAC addresses.

So I wrote this simple line that goes in the login script

ipconfig /all | find /i "physical address" > \\server\share\%computername%.txt

This will enter the mac address of the current logging in machine to a file in a shared area with the filename set as the computer name. Obviously you can use this how you want but is a nice method of collecting data.
