Hello, I have a small problem and need some help. We need to quickly find the MAC addresses of machines and all we have is the hostname. We have been using the getmac /s \\computername command to get the mac address of a single hostname. I have a text file which has lots of hostnames in it (150) one per line e.g. hostname1 hostname2 hostname3 I am using the following command getmac /s hostname1 /u domain\user /p password /fo csv /nh >> ThisFile.txt My question is, is there anyway to loop through the file using each line of the file as the hostname for example in the form of a variable. I'm not too hot with batch scripting so not great with loops any help would be much appreciated!! TIA d4rkcell

Non-Command Script version: FOR /F %a IN (SomeTextFile) DO getmac /s %a /u domain\user /p password /fo csv /nh >> ThisFile.txt SomeTextFile's name cannot contain spaces.

Thank you this has me on the right track :-)
