Locating a Stolen PC

by mikeytino . Updated 23 years, 5 months ago

My computer was stolen from my dorm room last week. I believe the theif is still on campus or even in my building, and most likely on the network. I had ResNet search the network for my specific Computer Name, but no luck. I assume they may have formatted. I was hoping they aren’t smart enough to change the NIC, but I do not know the MAC address of that NIC. I log on to an Outlook Web Access MS Exchange Server 5.5. Will that log my MAC address? If so I can call the admin and get it. Is there any other way you think I may be able to do a thorough search of my network for the computer name? I need to catch this jerk! Thanks
