I have two Windows advanced server as DC. And about 200
clients. Half of them are Windows clients, half of them
are Linux. Now I need have the inventory of all system's
MAC address. Is it possible to find those information in
server instead of check them one by one? Or is there any
easy way to do so? I nees those information: computer
name, IP address and MAC address.

Thanks a lot,

Grace
 
An "arp -a" command done from a CMD prompt on the
server will show you the IP-to-MAC mapping table.

These entries timeout rather quickly, so you'll need
to ping an IP address if it doesn't appear in the table.

If you are running DHCP on your server, you can
see the IP/MAC leases in that snap-in.

Otherwise, try a tool like GFI's LanGuard Network
Scanner, available for download at www.gfi.com,
(or pretty much any other network scanner.) This
will scan and correlate all the information and
make it much simpler.
