Unique System ID

S

Sai Krishnan

Hi
We would like to get a Unique Id which can identify a system. Are there any
such unique Ids?

Is there any way we can get the Serial number of the partition containing
the operating system?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,

There are many factors that you can, somehow, rely on as unique IDs...such
as MAC address or Harddisk Hardware serial number.
However the partition serial number is not unique and can be changed.

To retrieve it use/check the GetVolumeInformation()

AllocateAndInitializeSid()
