Identifier (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the Identifier setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting contains a string with a maximum length of 256 characters that identifies an interface to use for DNS-Client, NetBT, and TCP/IP interface settings.
It can be expressed in one of the following ways:
- As a string representation of an interface net locally unique identifier (NetLUID). For example, 0x6000001000000.
- As an interface alias. For example, Local Area Connection.
- As an interface MAC address. For example, 00-11-22-33-44-55.
Do not create an empty value for this setting.
Note
In computers with multiple occurrences of the same type of network interface, such as a LAN connection, the NetLUID and interface aliases for each interface may not be the same between different builds. After installation, verify that the settings were applied to the correct interface.

Setting Description |
|---|---|---|
Products/Embedded Core/DNS-Client/Interfaces/Interface/Identifier |
Specifies the interface identifier for the interface-specific Domain Name System (DNS) search. This setting is used with the following settings:
|
|
Products/Embedded Core/NetBT/Interfaces/Interface/Identifier |
Specifies the interface to apply to other NetBT settings: |
|
Products/Embedded Core/TCPIP/Interfaces/Interface/Identifier |
Specifies the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface:
|
|
Products/Embedded Core/TCPIP/Interfaces/Interface/Routes/Route/Identifier |
Specifies a unique integer for each IPv4 and IPv6 route in the unattended installation configuration file. The identifier is not retained after the configuration file is processed and that has no effect on IP routing functionality. |
