I am interested in finding the Farm Id of my Farm. Where is it located or how do I otherwise find it?

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.

So there is one detail to the above instructions that was missed. Please remember to load powershell as an administrator to set the execution policy.– Mike TJan 12, 2011 at 17:27
The correct syntax for anyone unlucky enough to still be managing a 2007 farm is below:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint"); [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local.ID
