I cannot generate a GUID that match with settings.json or the example that you provided

[crramirez]

Hello,

I used two online generators. Both give me the same results:

https://www.webtools.services/uuid-generator

The generated value is: 8fa9feba-8e6e-5128-a6ba-e0926db2a4b4 instead of 2C4DE342-38B7-51CF-B940-2309A097F518 that is on the documentation.

Is it possible that the base GUID is wrong?

Regards,
Carlos

The trick: the profile name is encoded in UTF16LE or Unicode Little Endian without BOM

Just came across the same issue. Would it be possible to update the documentation with that very useful piece of information at a minimum or alternatively (and even better) add a section on how to generate such a GUID via e.g. PowerShell?
