Answer : find mac address in windows

nbmac - DOS display of the network MAC address (local or remote)

Boot from a DOS network boot disk (Bart's Network Boot Disk, MS Client, PXE, etc), map a drive run the following:

net use x: \\servername\sharename
x:\
echo ComputerName >> maclist.txt
nbmac >> maclist.txt

This will produce a list with the following:
ComputerName1 <- The name of the computer
11-00-11-00-11-00 <- That computer's MAC address

If all you want is a list of the various MAC addresses for your 25 machines make a batch file and call it right after your network boot disk loads (e.g. autoexec.bat)
