that will get the mac on the computer you run it on but if you need to get the mac for a remote computer I have a script for that to just tell me if YO want it. Quote

For /f is not working in pure dos. (Until M$-Dos 7.1. - I don`t know the new Free Dos etc.)

To get the Mac Adress from a remote computer you can use the getmac COMMAND from the RESSOURCE kit.
