Create a GUID

Prev Next

Device class definitions require a name and one or more globally unique identifiers (GUIDs).

If the form can't be submitted to the specified SharePoint list or document library. The SharePoint location might be read-only or you might not have permissions to access it.

Some hardware devices install their own new device class. If a suitable device class doesn't exist on the predefined list, or is not created automatically when new hardware is installed, you can create a device class in the DLP Policy Manager. To control the behavior of plug-and-play hardware devices that define their own device class, you must first add a new device class to the Managed status in the Device Classes list.

A device class is defined by two properties: a name and a GUID. The name of a new device is displayed in the device manager, but the GUID is displayed only in the Windows Registry and there is no easy way to obtain it. To ease the retrieval of new device names and GUIDs, theTrellix Device Controlclient reports a New Device Class Found event to theProtection Workspace when a hardware device that does not belong to a recognized device class is plugged into the host computer.
