Oh, I'm an old hand at finding Microsoft GUIDs. As a tester at Microsoft, when a nightly build's uninstall failed (which was often because the setup team was so crappy), we had to find and delete every blasted registry key and installed file for the application. I had 50+ servers in my lab, so I identified all the keys and files on one server and sent the delete operations out over the network to the others. This method was laborious, but a fraction of the work needed to wipe and fresh install 50+ servers. > Might have to export the entire registry first, > install, export entire registry, and run a differences of the two <G> > > >I like the idea of pulling the wire (cutting internet access) when I > >use it.
