Generate New GUIDs

This tool generates a new GUID for an Application object. If you've synchronized the GUIDs of several Application objects, you can use this tool unsynchronize the GUIDs so that distributing one of the Application objects will not distribute all of them.

This tool requires careful use. When an Application object is distributed to a workstation, its GUID is stored in the Windows registry. Novell^® Application Launcher^TM/Explorer uses the GUID to determine whether or not the application has been distributed to the workstation. After the new GUID is generated, Application Launcher/Explorer may re-distribute the application because the GUID in the Windows registry will not match the new GUID for Application object.

1. In ConsoleOne, select the Application objects whose GUIDs you want to change. Control-click to select multiple objects.

2. Click the Tools menu > Application Launcher Tools > Generate New GUIDs.
