That is the problem with any obfuscation/encryption string. Ultimately, there is always the "output hole", where the final result can be matched.
Obviously this is not as convenient as in NT7, where the MachineID value that was returned by the method call was the same as that displayed by the NT Help dialog. We can cavil, or we can simply use the information that is gettable.
Just my $0.02.
