On a fleet of company owned Symbol units, we've decided to assign HotSync User Names and User IDs according to a company wide scheme. I've added provisions to my app to set these values on the handheld's.
John, Grant Street Software has a SD card-based utility for doing exactly this. A database of user names is set up on a desktop, and then sync'd to the SD card. Inserting the SD card into a device will assign it the next-unsigned hotsync user name and move to a "Hello User #57" splashscreen, and the card is removed and inserted into the next device, etc etc.
I realize you've already made progress on this task, but I wanted to let you know in case it might save you some time.
Take it easy, -Jeff Ishaq
