3.) Query Linux computer with the command getmac?
The getmac command will only allow us to get the Mac addresses of the computers that are running Windows. If you try to do this on a Linux computer, you receive an error message "The RPC server is not available".
If you enter an incorrect password, the command fails with the error message "Logon failure": unknown user name or incorrect password Alert!
4.) What should you watch out for when querying the MAC address?
This command (getmach) does not display Mac addresses for the disabled network connections. You can run ncpa.cpl and check which network cards are disabled. Also, I've received comments that this command does nothing to help determine the Mac address for a specific device. For example, when I need to get the Mac address for my WiFi card, the output of the getmac command is not helpful. We can use the ipconfig command to deal with this.
