About the Unique Identifier Value for a Resource
In Configuration Manager, the Configuration Manager unique identifier property for a new resource class is optional. If you report inventory data for the resource, you must include this property. The Configuration Manager unique identifier value must be unique — it relates your resource discovery data to your inventory data (SMS_G_xxx). Typically, hardware resources use a GUID to uniquely identify individual resources.
