Generally, unless a file is damaged in some way, you should never need to change the identifiers.
This mode uses the following syntax:
FSUtil ObjectID [query Filename] [set ObjectId BirthVolumeId
BirthObjectId DomainId Filename] [delete Filename] [create Filename]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
Filename Specifies the name of the file to query or modify.
MONITORING THE FILE SYSTEM WITH THE FSUTIL COMMAND 243
ObjectId Contains a 16-byte hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies the file on a particular
volume. This identifier is extremely important because the Distributed Link Tracking (DLT)
Client service and the File Replication Service (FRS) use it to identify files. This identifier can
change when you move a file from one volume to another. However, the BirthVolumeId and
BirthObjectId values never change, so Windows can always identify a particular file using
these values no matter where you move it.
BirthVolumeId Contains a 16-byte hexadecimal number that identifies the initial file volume.
The DLT Client service uses this value to identify moved files.
BirthObjectId Contains a 16-byte hexadecimal number that reflects the file??™s initial
ObjectID.
