In an effort to develop technology that would enable computers to communicate across networks, a numbering system called a Universally Unique Identifier, or UUID, was established as part of a software standard known as the Distributed Computing Environment, or DCE . Microsoft relied on this standard when it developed a remote computing capability for Windows known as Object Linking and Embedding, or OLE.
