Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I am a technician in a large computer park, so it is impossible for me to collect information one by one in the bios on 1000 HP 855 G8 machines for example.

 

My problem is, I want to get the @Mac Pass from Windows.

I know how to get it by the bios but this method is, as said above, unusable in my situation.

 

My question: How to obtain the @MAC pass through other mean than by the BIOS?

 

Troubleshouting:

- If the @Mac PT (Pass through) is whitelisted in my DHCP, that I have a docking station connected -> A wired connection is established: I can find it because it is the @MAC of the virtual card ethernet.

But in this case, that means I already had the @MAC PT whitelisted..

 

- If the @Mac PT (Pass through) is not whitelisted in my DHCP, that I have a docking station connected -> A wired connection is not established -> The @MAC found linked to the virtual Ethernet card is that of the docking station and not of the @MAC PT.

 

In conclusion: With or without dock, if I don't know the @MAC PT, which is not Whitelist for my DHCP, what would be another way to have the @MAC PT than to go look it in the BIOS ?
