Help to locate GUID/UUID!!

[Roger Abell]

That information is used if the machine will be auto-installing
the operating system using RIS. That infomation is either in
the BIOS with major vendors, or can be such as the MAC.
If you are not using RIS do not worry about it, say it will not
be a managed computer, and do not worry, as you can still
manage it through group policy. That string is only used when
booting with PXE and getting the authorization to install from
the RIS server and then getting the correct configuration to be
installed.

Hi,


I need to locate the GUID/UUID of a client computer. Found this on
windows help site:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...ll/proddocs/en-us/sag_RIS_pro_Client_GUID.asp.
Tried everything in there and nothing worked!! Can somebody please help me??

This is what I'm trying to do. I have a server running on Windows Server
2003 and 6 computer running under the same domain, 2 of them running XP. I
want to manage these computer's through my Server.
This is what I did. On the server's Active Directory => "Domain Name" =>
Computers, right click on the right side window and then click on New = >
Computer, type in a computer name click next, it asks me if "this is a
managed computer" and then asks me for the computer's unique ID (GUID/UUID).

Please help me!!
Hope I was clear enough!!
