Hello All,

Does anybody know hoe to generate a GUID in kernel? I know CoCreateGuid will
give me a GUID in user mode, is there an equivalent API in kernel?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

See documentation for ExUuidCreate. GUID’s and UUID’s are the same thing.
At some point the terminology was partially changed. The “G” is for
“Globally”. The “U” is for “Universally.”

Thanks. I found it. But do you know is there an equivalent one in NT4.0?
Since I need to run on Windows NT4.0 and unfortunately there is no such API
in NT4.0 ddk.

Thanks again.
