Normally I use a PXE install to view the MAC but this computer lost trust to our domain so I cannot log into it.

I looked for the MAC underneath the computer and under the bottom cover but I didnt see anything.

There has to be a way.

If the comp is on the network then the router/modem/firewall (physical, some virtual) will have a log of it.

ping that machine from another computer, and check the ARP cache.

Ping IP address or computer name

Arp -a

Use a linux LiveCD or USB such as Ubuntu to view the MAC address.

I have an app on my android tablet called Fing. Connect to the wireless and let it scan, it will come up with mac addresses of everything on the network including devices without network names. I use it all the time, great little tool.

nmap can do it.  

Here's an example:

nmap -sU -p 161 -T4 -d -v -n -Pn --script snmp-interfaces 80.234.33.182

You can find it in BIOS setup on a Dell. Also, if you enable PXE boot, you should at least see it while it's trying to find the DHCP server.
