Use the GUID=xxx user data when you set up the AMI. It use much simpler and much more secure than getting th GUID from RDP.

Easier way to get the GUID in Windows is to use the command OTOY recommended..

wmic PROCESS get Caption,CommandLine | FIND "GUID"

but write the results to a txt file on the desktop. So...

wmic PROCESS get Caption,CommandLine | FIND "GUID" > Desktop\t.txt

I don't know why OTOY would NOT have put that value in the instance metadata on startup???

You have two choices - supply your own GUID in the metadata, and this overrides the randomly assigned one, or look in RDP/ssh for it (which is more work than needed - highly recommended you add your own GUID, this way it doesn't need to be copied or grabbed from RDP/ssg)
