SUMMARY
When an Active Directory object is created in Windows 2000, it is assigned a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). A GUID is a 128-bit integer used to identify an object, and is guaranteed to be unique. MORE INFORMATIONBecause references to objects are identity driven, you should avoid the copying and later renaming of objects. This practice disables any references to existing GPOs held by the Site, Domain, and Organizational Unit Active Directory containers. Instead, consider renaming the object. Renaming does not change the original objects' GUIDs, and leaves all object references intact.
