We can find mac address (physical address) of a computer using the command ‘getmac‘. This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems.
- Microsoft ms dos free download - Templates for Microsoft Excel, To-Do Stickies, ACCDB Explorer, and many more programs.
- Ms dos bootable free download - Active NTFS Reader for DOS, Show DOS Name, DOS-on-USB, and many more programs.
- For MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFAT volumes, the maximum length for the volume name is 11 characters. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a file system format. Enter the size or drag the resize control to increase or decrease the size of the volume. Click Apply, click Partition, then click Continue.
Don’t you just love the good old MS-DOS games we used to play as kids? Now you can play them again, directly from your internet browser. Wherever you are, whether you are PC, Linux or Mac. Originally 86-DOS, written by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products, DOS was a rough clone of CP/M for 8086 based hardware. Microsoft purchased it and licensed it to IBM for use with Microsoft's IBM PC language products. In 1982, Microsoft began licensing DOS to other OEMs that ported it to their custom x86 hardware and IBM PC clones.
Get mac addresses from CMD
Just run the command getmac to get the mac addresses. Find an example below.
This command does not show mac addresses for the network connections which are disabled. You can run ncpa.cpl and check which NICs are disabled. Further, I have received comments that this command does not help identify the mac address for a specific device. For example, if I need to get the mac address for my WiFi card, output of getmac command is not helpful. We can use ipconfig command to deal with this.
Get mac address of a remote computer
We can retrieve the mac addressses for a remote computer using nbtstat command.
Example:
Alternatively, We can run the below command to retrieve the mac addresses of a remote computer.
remote_computer : Full name of the remote computer or IP address
username and password are of the account on the remote computer.
Example:
If you do not want to specify the password, you can skip /p parameter. You will be prompted to enter the password and the command execution will take place after that.
Errors:
Using getmac command we can retrieve the mac addresses of the machines running windows OS only. If you try this for a Linux machine you would get the error “The RPC server is unavailable.”
If you provide incorrect password, the command would fail with the error message “Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.”
