Resolution

By using the following command, you would get the VE GUID:

vzcfgt get VEID GUID

To obtain GUIDs of all VEs you can use the following script:

@echo off
for /F "skip=3 usebackq tokens=*" %%i in (`cmd /c "vzlist -ao veid"`) do (cmd /c "vzcfgt get %%i GUID" && echo is GUID of VE %%i)

In case VEID.conf file is lost and it's necessaary to retrieve GUID to be able to repair VEID.conf manually you can use the following command:

vzdskctl mount_shared c:\vz\private\VEID\root.efd

root.efd file will be mounted and GUID will be shown in output.

Note: Do not forget to unmount mounted root.efd using the following command:

vzdskctl umount GUID
