I just noticed that the uuid command is no longer working on my MacBook. One possibility is that it was removed when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The man page is still available.
man uuid
Does anybody else have this problem with 10.8.2?

Try to repair the Windows boot sector using the Startup Repair Tool by Microsoft.
You can attempt a Startup Repair using these instructions:
Insert the Windows 7 installation disc or USB flash drive, or a system repair disc, and then shut down your computer.
Restart your computer using the computer's power button.
When prompted, press any key, and then follow the instructions that appear.
On the Install Windows page, or on the System Recovery Options page, choose your language and other preferences, and then click Next.
If you are using the Windows installation disc or USB flash drive, click Repair your computer.
Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
Solution: Join the Mountain Lion system to the Active Directory domain. User can still log in with their local user name, but when connecting to smb://servername, OSX will stop defaulting to .local for credentials. This is new to ML, and I think it is a bug, but this is the only solution that we have found.
