When my WP7 phone connects to my EAS server I can see among other things it's Device ID (B5B0EA77FE982C6EB38584985E98F221). This ID does not match with anything I can get from the device via API. Using DeviceExtendedProperties.TryGetValue("DeviceUniqueId", out uniqueId) gives me something totally different. Does anyone know if there is possibility to get the same ID also from some API call?

  • I don't know for sure, but since that ID is the exact same length as a UUID I'm going to guess that the EAS client on Windows Phone 7 simply generates one randomly (or salts it with some device-specific info) and stores it for re-use in all EAS sessions going forward. – Brian Kelly May 05 '12 at 01:24
  • That's what I'm afraid of. Why couldn't they just use the existing DeviceUniqueID which is there for just this purpose and would allow others to link EAS with 3rd party solutions – Riho May 07 '12 at 05:26

Have you considered checking whether it's perhaps your UUID on the Exchange server?

  • It most probably is. But I need to get the same value in my phone application without connecting anywere. – Riho Jan 09 '13 at 08:04
