Thanks for covering that 1% Alex.
Added a notes field to my script library.

Wow- that is some answer. Thank you Monte.

I was actually expecting something like "getSystemID" to be built into Revtalk, but...

You inspired me to make myself a script library.
Note this approach works 99% of the time, but can go wrong (or at least be very confusing) if the user has installed any devices which have an in-built MAC address (e.g. a USB Wifi card, perhaps to get better reach than the in-built wifi gets, he says from experience :-). This may be the MAC address reported first, giving an "ID" which can later change.

It might be better to do a filter on ""Physical address" and then regard each of the physical addresses as valid IDs (disregarding the 00-00-00-00-00-00 ones for virtual adapters).

And as Peter said, a smart user can find a way around it anyway, a smart and malicious user will definitely get around it.
