Hello. Under About your PC I can find a workstation's Device ID. I was wondering if only presented with the Device ID of a workstation, can it somehow be converted to hostname, IP address, or MAC Address?

OR

Is it possible to remotely query a workstation to determine its Device ID? Thanks.

    Hi，

    The Device ID is a hash and cannot be converted to the hostname or IP address. You can get that from the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\MachineId 

    reg query \\<ComputerName>\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient /v MachineId

    Best Regards,
