MAC Mania

Today I was having mac address problems. My corp network runs a mac filtered domain so in order to avoid the hassle of contacting IT (which are stupid) I simply copied the macs from other machines and issued them to my servers (I'm a technical head for my department). Well I didn't save the MAC address and the server was shutdown when we moved it which blew away the mac. What did I do? Search the logs for every MAC address ever.
Code:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -iH '\([0-9a-f]\{2\}[:-]\)\{5\}[0-9a-f]\{2\}\|[0-9a-f]\{12\}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u
