I am using COM to find the UUID of a computer:

Func _GetUUID()
    Local $colItems, $objWMIService, $objItem, $sObjReturn = ''
    $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct", "WQL", 0x10 + 0x20)
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
            $sObjReturn = $objItem.UUID
            If $sObjReturn Then ExitLoop
        Next
        If $sObjReturn Then
            If ($sObjReturn <> "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000") And _
                ($sObjReturn <> "FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF") And _
                ($sObjReturn <> "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111") Then 
                Return $sObjReturn
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return _GetMacUUID()

Not understanding LDAP is probably my biggest fault (because I'm sure I could have fumbled across a mistake that worked by now), I'm still unsure if this is even a route I should be taking, I don't know if the end-user has to be set up on a network, which after reading the parameters, I'm starting to think I may be barking up the wrong tree all together.

So if anyone can help with the translation, or knows of an easier or a more efficient way, I'm open to suggestions.... Thanks.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

what are you trying to do? Based on the code you've provided I'm not quite sure ...

Cheers

During the registration process or the starting of the application if it's already been registered. It checks for the UUID of the computer it is on. It then writes that UUID (encrypted) and compares every start up along with the registration authenticating.

On some computers, the UUID is returned NULL or Empty. So then I go for the next best thing, the MAC.

Now the above worked fine for verifying that it was only used on the computer it was originally registered too until yesterday.

I received 2 Null strings and No MAC.

I need a way to set a GUID to the UUID location if it is NULL or Empty, so that I don't get a failed attempt from an Empty/Null UUID and a Empty MAC address.

You know that I know that You know that I know that You know that I know that

You know that I know that You know that I know that You know that I know that

... this is out of my league

but gafrost made one, its in Autoit Wrappers ( where i put all your stuff too )

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=199602

hope it helps

That generates the GUID, I need to set it, I can't have it generate at every startup, it should only be once. ;)

Edit:

Better clarification

Ah, O.K. But then you will need something different than LDAP, as an LDAP service is only available if there is a Domain (and a domain controller). There is no LDAP service on a single WinXP box.... Maybe google has an answer. Let's see ....

I'll be back ( I always wanted to say that ;) )

EDIT: to be totally sure. You want a secure method to identify a computer, so your installation/start-up routine can check if your software has already been registered?

I'll call you Arnold from now on rather than Kurt :lmao:

Not just already "registered" to, but also verify that is only on the same computer it was "originally" registered to.

Something that won't be the same if cloned like the UUID is not the same when cloned.

Thanks for your time Arnold :evil:

are you REALLY sure that a UUID is not the same when a system was cloned (with GHOST or Acronis)???

Nope, I'm fairly sure it's created by the virtual environment itself.. I'm just trying to cover all bases (preventative maintenance).

Edit:

Ebonics.
