Windows IoT on Raspberry Pi Unique Identifier

Question

I'm looking for a solution to get 2 unique strings on the RPI with Windows IoT. The strings should be unchanged after reboot. It should be something like a Hardware ID to identify a device.

Try getting the MAC address of your network.

var macAddr = 
    (
        from nic in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        where nic.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up
        select nic.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString()
    ).FirstOrDefault();
