it is a little known fact that 0 doesnt change
if you turn it sideways its still 0
if its backwards its still 0
often people will asume its 1 but a 1 sideways is an _ underscore
so it fails the test
I am very glad to have helped you with this issue

w00t!!!!
Anyway, if what you are looking for is something that can help identify a computer and won't be modified from a session to another, you should go with the MAC address.
The network card is one of the component the least likely to be changed in a computer. |

see i think thats the whole point the user said he needed a number a number for what
his auntie.... lottery
who knows
there is no description of what he wants to do with his desired number of heavanly origion only that he wants a number that doesnt change
now along the lines of a computer identifier
session to session the computer name would not change
macs are only usefull if your going to use netbios not really a good move in this day and age because hackers will take advantage of such poorly secured netowrks....... oh

explicitely means: Hello nice fellows. I am looking for any possible number that could allow a script I plan to work on to identify a specific computer and differenciate it from any other computers.  |

NIC MAC addresses can change if the computer in question is portable and sometimes uses dock stations for network access.
I would recommend taking seperate hashes out of [computer name] [SCSI config] [NIC MAC] and [display adapter driver name] and doing 3/4=ok.
just my 2¢.

did you read to the end of the topic I linked? It tells you how to get the HDD Serial. There are also other schemes discussed and linked to.
