In our office network I am looking to find the MAC addresses of all network
adapters on a PC. The problem is that our laptop users have 2 network
adapters, a hard wired and wireless adapter. Since the laptop user is
connected to the network through the hard wired adapter, how do I find the
MAC address of the wireless network adapter? I know how to find a MAC
address of the hard wired adapter because it is connected to the network.

One way is to use psexec to connect to the other computer, then ask it:
psexec \\computername cmd
Click to expand...

then, once connected,
ipconfig /all
Click to expand...

"psexec" is a component of the "PsTools" Suite:

The getmac command could be useful. Remote machines can be specified as
parameters.
