Answer 1

To identify a SharePoint 2007 Farm ID, you can install Microsoft Powershell onto your local development image from. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/default.mspx)

Powershell is installed as a hotfix and can be identified as such in Add/Remove programs.

Running powershell, follow these commands, Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“”Microsoft.SharePoint”")$spFarm = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPfarm]::Local$spFarm Look for the ID field, this GUID is your SharePoint Farm Id. Remember to exit from the Powershell command prompt once your done.
