Fields

GUID
Specifies the GUID for the server.

Remarks

The server’s GUID is automatically generated by the OS the first time the server is brought up.

The Ethernet address of a LAN board is part the server's GUID. Once a LAN board is loaded, the GUID contains all zeros until a LAN board is loaded the first time.

The server GUID is kept in the registry so the initial GUID created for the server will be preserved across multiple reboots. If the registry is corrupted or deleted, the startup code will automatically generate a new server GUID as if this was the first time the server was brought up.
