SYMPTOMS
When looking through Windows Media server logs, you may see the same GUID (Globally unique identifier) logged for different IP addresses and client versions.



CAUSE
The most common reason for seeing this behavior is when Windows Media Player is pre-installed on a computer that is being used as a source operating system image, and that operating system image is then copied onto other computers. When any of the duplicated computers stream Windows Media files from a Windows Media server, they all log the same player GUID that the source computer had.
