Help with PDAs

[ShaneBrennan]

I'm creating a VB program that use activesync to communicate with a PDAs running Microsoft PocketPC. I can copy files to and from the PDA/PC using activesync, but I want to stop unauthorised PDAs being plugged into the system.

To achieve this I'm looking for someway of uniquely identifying a PDA, then I discovered there is one built into all PDAs called the UUID. But I have a problem - retrieving this code!

Does anyone have some example VB code on how to retrieve a This information?

I would appreeciate any help on this, as it's driving me potty.

Thank you in advance for any help given.

Check out the CE registry tree under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident
the sub keys on my CE 3.0 2002 version are
(default) := not set
Desc := machine description
Name := current machine name (used with active sync)
OrigName := Original machine name
PegID := Dword id
Resctriction := Dword value

You ought to be able to find machine specific data per machine and active sync.
