If you have enough control over these machines you could also let them report to a central machine their IP and MAC-addresses (for example via Group Policy: Task Scheduler or startup script, or via WinRM remoting (PowerShell), psexec, something like that). The translation between IP and MAC addresses is done using the address resolution protocol (ARP) - the command-line program to check the windows ARP cache is simply 'arp' (try arp -a to see. The solution is to ping all subnet, but after each ping perform an arp command to see if the IP matches your MAC address, which ensures you not to loose information because.
When your Mac is connected to a network, it is assigned an address on the network called an IP address. The IP address is four sets of digits separated by periods, with up to three digits per set. If the Mac is connected to a network as well as the internet, then it will have an internal IP address which marks its location on the local network.

For example, if I need to get the mac address for my WiFi card, output of getmac command is not helpful. We can use ipconfig command to deal with this.
