Unique identifier need for Windows installation

[Trea]

Does anyone know what I could use as a unique identifier
for a particular installation of the OS. I need to
idenitify the actual installation as opposed to the box,
so that If there were multiple os's I can tell which one
it came from.

Any GUID or anything created on an installation ?

rgds,
Trea

Thanks, this is just what I need.

Use the SID...

See: NewSID-Tool from sysinternals
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml

There is also source which shows you how to extract the Computer-SID.

This SID is created every-time the OS is installed.

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?
