HERE BELOW IS THE ANSWER OF THE ABOVE QUESTION CLEARLY IN POINTS,

FIRST METHOD::-
1.The manual method is using ipconfig /allat each computer to display the necessary information and writing it down.

2.A more automated method is having each computer run a startup script containing ipconfig /all > \\server\Share\%computername%.txt,

3. which creates a text file with the required information on a share on the server. The information then has to be extracted from each file. (The script could also use the command ipconfig /all >>\\serverXX\Share\IPconfigs.txt, which has the advantage of sending output to a single file because >>appends output to a file.)

SECOND METHOD::-
4. Another possibility is pinging all the IP addresses in the range of IP addresses you’re using. Using the -aoption, you can get the computer name, and then use ARP to display the MAC address. However, this method has the drawback of being labor intensive, and the computers would have to be on at the time you pinged them.
