| My comment: |
|
For security reasons, UuidCreate was modified so that it no longer uses a machine"s MAC address to generate UUIDs.
UuidCreateSequential was introduced to allow creation of UUIDs using the MAC address of a machine"s Ethernet card.
Read article GUIDs and UUIDs explained on the BetterExplained.
