find the GUID or UUID (active directory add computer)

[Aswin01]

When i add a managed computer he asks for a GUID.
i cant find it. :'(
please help me

the GUID is on the client computer. If its not printed on a label on/in the case, then try looking in the bios. If no GUID is found, use the network monitor on the server to capture it with a RIS boot disk on the client. I believe the network card's MAC address can be substituted into the GUID field provided you make it the same length. Reference windows help>users and computers>remote installation services>how to>manage client computers>locate the GUID for clients. Also check out help>users and computers>remote installation services>concepts>understanding remote installation services>remote installatio services architechture>PXE architechture. The GUID will be located in the packet sent to DHCP.

ok thx, i found it @ another way, :
Typ in command (Testes on windows XP and 2003 and 98(doesnt work on win98)
getmac /v

you 'll find the GUID. but how to find it in win98 .. i dont know

use the MAC address and put zeros in font of the mac address. If say a mac address was 00-24-58-D5-81-11 then you would enterit as 0000000000000000000002458D58111
If memory serves me right it should be twenty zeros in front.

The combo is 00 to FF so 32 chars.

00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF
00000000000000000000002458D58111

For the GUID, there are a few ways to find it, but it your system supports it, it will mean that your PC can boot via network (Press F11 or F12 during a cold boot and select network PXE boot, the key depends on the BIOS).

It will list you the MAC and if a GUID is available, it will list it as well.

You can also program the network boot first in the boot up order, but using the F11/F12 keys will save you a couple of trips to the BIOS.
