Actually, none of them are correct. The deviceid is a string stored on the
computer. It is used to identify the agent. This string is:
- the hostname
- the installation date.
We can store the string on a ESX server. In order to reduce compatibility
issue we decide to generate a “fake” string every time.
This deviceid will also be lost for a common computer is the agent is
removed (and the “var” dir lost).
Best regards,
