But that’s something we won’t talk about today.
For example, you could write a script that retrieves all your computer names from Active Directory and then methodically connects to each of those computers, checking to see if that MAC address can be found. The best you can do is bind to each individual computer and check to see if the MAC address can be found on that machine.
People often ask us, “If I have a MAC address can I write a script that will tell me which computer on my network is using that address?” Unfortunately, the answer to that question is this: no, you can’t write a script that somehow searches the network looking for a particular MAC address. Before we answer your question we should take a moment to answer a related question.
Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I display the IP addresses associated with a given MAC address?
