It's still perfectly valid to create "type 1" GUIDs, where you increment
the top set of digits to get additional GUIDs. The Uuidgen tool will
give you a base if you say "uuidgen -x". If you say "uuidgen -x -n5",
it will show you five sequential GUIDs:
C:\tmp>uuidgen -x -n5

59475075-09d9-11df-8605-044b80808003
59475076-09d9-11df-8605-044b80808003
59475077-09d9-11df-8605-044b80808003
