PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for generating a unique identifier without requiring platform-specific software. SOLUTION: In response to an event occurring on a computer system, an event timestamp is retrieved from an intermediate operating environment on the computer system. Further execution of this method retrieves a system name and a hash value from the intermediate operating environment on the computer system. The combination of the system name, event timestamp, and hash value creates a unique identifier uniquely identifying the intermediate operating environment on the computer system without requiring platform-specific software.
