GUIDGen is a user interface-based tool that enables you to generate GUIDs you can use for
anything that requires a GUID. GUIDGen can create GUIDs using several different formats,
enabling you to create GUIDs for automation, programming, scripts, and other purposes. As
shown in Figure 10.1, GUIDGen also includes a Copy button you can use to copy a newly
generated GUID to the Windows clipboard for quick pasting in your application, your source
code, or wherever you want to insert the GUID.
GUIDGen is not new to Exchange 2003; previous versions of Exchange also included this tool.
For more information on using GUIDGen, see the Read Me file included with this tool.
