SNMP on Windows NT Workstation return a corrupt value when the Interface Object's MAC address is read. SNMP returns four or five bytes of the six byte address.
MORE INFORMATION
The following command line entries will reproduce the problem. Notice that the Windows NT server returns a correct value for ifPhysAddress.2 while the two workstations return corrupt information.
C:\users\default>snmputil walk <computernmae> public .1.3.6.1.2
Windows NT Server 3.51 Service Pack 2:
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2
Value = OCTET STRING - Intel EtherExpress PRO Adapter
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifPhysAddress.2
Value = OCTET STRING - <0x0><0xaa><0x0><0xb5><0x1a><0x95>
Windows NT Workstation 3.51 Service Pack 1:
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2
Value = OCTET STRING - Intel EtherExpress 16 Miniport/
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifPhysAddress.2
Value = OCTET STRING - <0x0><0xaa><0x0>7?<0xce>
Windows NT Workstation 3.51 Service Pack 2:
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.4
Value = OCTET STRING - Intel EtherExpress PRO Adapter
Variable = interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifPhysAddress.2
Value = OCTET STRING - <0x0><0xaa><0x0>`<0xd3><0xce>
