"getmac"? Is that even a valid command? I'm getting an error trying it with the /? switch. :-?

indeed it is...
From Microsoft's site
I have changed the batch file to use the full path to it...
Code: [Select]
C:\windows\system32\getmac.exeas I am running it from a network (mapped) drive.

....and it now works
