Re: How does MO ID value get generated ?

Hi TedJP,

I guess this article by William Lam could be of general interest to you:

And with respect to:

Is there any possibility that the ID might get changed ?

Check the docs of UnregisterVM there it reads:

     ... However, the VirtualMachine managed object that results typically has different objects ID ...

I would interpret this as unregistering and newly registering a VM will give you different MoRef ID

Hope this helps :-)
