Sparrowlord Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Would this be a good way to identify a computer after an ip verification? I'm looking to only allow a certain computer on a network to use a script of mine, and was wondering if DriveGetSerial() returns a unique value based off the hard-drive in the computer.

Sparrowlord Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 What would be the way to identify a computer then? Is there anything that I can check that would be unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I use a combination of items DriveGetSerial() & @ComputerName & @IPAddress1 Remeber that @IPAddress will change if the net card is swapped. DriveGetSerial() is generally pretty safe to use although that serial can be changed with enough effort. It would be nice if we could get the UUID of the computer but a couple of us have looked for a method to do that with no success. Another method would be to Enum the reg values for hardware but that would change if any major hardware changes were made to the system George Question about decompiling code?

LurchMan Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 you could just have the script do a FileInstall() and make a *.dat file with some random entries and bury it in the windows dir somewhere and make the script check for it everytime it starts...not fool proof but if they are scared of the windows dir like most common people are then it should work Dating a girl is just like writing software. Everything's going to work just fine in the testing lab (dating), but as soon as you have contract with a customer (marriage), then your program (life) is going to be facing new situations you never expected. You'll be forced to patch the code (admit you're wrong) and then the code (wife) will just end up all bloated and unmaintainable in the end.
