Hi Jacque,

Qory to be so late with this, but have you considered
executing a VBScript by means of a shell command?
Here's the first entry of a google for "mac address
vbscript":

It seems it is possible to go through all the Windows
machines in a domain and obtain the MAC addresses of
each computer.

Hopàe this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
