What is the difference between GUID and UUID?

What is the difference between GUID and UUID? Is it there is only one GUID per system or there are lots of GUID in a system?

How can I get the GUID in DOS mode? Is there any tools I can use to do it?

Thanks for your answer. But one more question. I don't want to generate a new ID but just want to retrieve from the existing one? Can any tools help?

jhance

Retrieve WHAT existing GUID?

Your Windows 2000 system has thousands of GUIDs stored in it.

Ok, let's say I want the system's AD UUID or any UUID in the system. Where can I download the tools to retrieve the UUID?

It's still not clear what you want here.

Please be more detailed and specific as your question seems to be "morphing" from one thing to another. It's really hard to be helpful under such circumstances.
