More than likely that's a UUID for a network adapter and not a machine. Considering Dell's can use different types of network adapters I would expect this to vary machine by machine instead of machine mfr by machine mfr.
I doubt there's a way to get a specific UUID for each machine unless you had a way to distinguish between them and generate your own UUID. Therefore, you'll probably have to generate your own. There are simply too many combinations and not enough regulation on UUID's.

I can call NetworkInfo.networkInfo.findInterfaces() and I get a bunch of stuff that looks like this: Name: {69138DF2-AB57-4755-A00C-BDCE909BBF30} DisplayName: Wireless Network Connection MTU: 1500 HardwareAddr: B8-76-3.... Active: true ============================ Name: {C57BEFB1-0B32-4653-853D-2A5690760716} DisplayName: Local Area Connection MTU: 1500 HardwareAddr: 74-...... The problem is this: the 'name' property appears to vary from machine type to machine type - that is, Dells use a different string than Lenovos for example, and the 'displayName' property also varies from language to language. So the question is, how can I find some unique identifier for a machine? Do I need to generate it myself? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
