Office 365 SharePoint root webs and default library have the same id(guid) issur?

[Justin Liu]

Hi guys

Here is the situation.

When I create several site collections one by one, the root webs and default libraries in the webs have the save id(guid), I wonder is it normal? I use web id in my program to identify the unique web I am looking for, but this issure makes me fail to do that.

Root web ID:
90ac824b-ac63-419e-9231-1050d4062bf1           https://jfoxdave.sharepoint.com/teams/testWebId03

Documents ID:

Hi Justin,

What query are you using exactly to retrieve these IDs? Could it be that you are querying the id's for the root site collection? That would explain why you are getting the same ID's everywhere.

Looks like you are querying not the web guids but a different one can you post your code?

Could it be the same issue that Wictor described on his blog @ http://www.wictorwilen.se/when-a-guid-is-not-really-unique-i-m-looking-at-you-sharepoint?

Looks like @Waldek Mastykarz found the cause! Didn't know this. Thanks!

Yes.

It is the same issue.

I think Microsoft should solve this.
