Hi, You may like to take a look at the thread over on MSDN Forums available here - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1504457&SiteID=1[^]. This thread discusses this exact topic and covers some of the problems you may fall into. In short it will be reasonably difficult to obtain the exact UUID as used by ActiveSync etc. However if you just need to get an id which is unique to a given device and repeatable you can probably do what you want by using the GetDeviceUniqueId API call. Hope it helps, Christopher Fairbairn
