I read some docs but I have no Mac boxes to test.

From the docs I build this command

ioreg -c IOPlatformExpertDevice -n IOPlatformUUID

Questions:

  1. Is the above command correct? I am not sure: should be -n or -k to specify the property name ?

  2. Does it require "administrator" privileges or can a normal user account run it?

Thanks

You should use -k instead of -n.
The -k flag filters the output to show only entries that have the specified property key.

The command must be :

ioreg -c IOPlatformExpertDevice -k IOPlatformUUID

Hi. Thanks for the hint. Can you please run the command and paste here its output? Can you confirm it requires / doesn't require a special account ?
