I have 50 users in my company and need to get the mac addresses of them. I would prefer not to go to each pc to retrieve this information. Does anybody know of a script or program that will do this for me?

From a command prompt window, type the following....
nbtstat -A

(this is case sensitive)

This will return to you the information you requested about the MAC address. You can place this command in a batch file that writes to a text file. This will place the information into a file which you can edit and keep for reference later on.

Not sure what OS you are running, but there's a reskit util in NT4 and win2k called getmac.exe which fits the bill....

you have another option to resolve ip to mac addresses.If all your hosts are on one subnet
you can sequentially ping all hosts by ip address or netbios names.Arp will maintain a cashe of all resolved addresses,thereafter you utilize arp -a(lower case)All names resolved will be in your arp cashe with their respective hardware address.
