Since BC2 doesn't have a console you can retrieve your PB GUID by following the guide below:

http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-clientlog.html

Or as Vltg3 has posted you can enable logging and issue /pb_myguid or /pb_plist commands in the games chat. Be careful as a typo will send any message to the server. You can use Team (K) or Squad (L) chat too.

After you have setup the pbcl.log you can also do the pb_plist command to get the players on server GUIDs to save to the log.

Just enter chat ("J" by default) then type: /pb_plist

Also if your using a dual/multi screen setup you can run this log veiwer to view the PB log in real time

I looked at your server logs and your guid remains the same for the past few days. Is your server running the latest R7 because with earlier versions your guid changes when you change your name.

Is there much point in me changing my GUID on here from my BF2 GUID to my BC2 GUID? Just as I know I would need an admin to do this wondering if there is any real benefit.

Try this..

Join a server write in chat /PB_WriteCfg
you find in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2\pb
a file named pbcl.cfg rename it to pbcl.txt now open it see and change the lines
like this...

;Auto Generated by PunkBuster Client
pb_MsgPrefix "[skipnotify]PunkBuster Client" //[PB Message Prefix]
pb_Sleep 500 //[# of Milliseconds (default=250)]
pb_LogToFile 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]
pb_SsLog 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=1)]
pb_SsSave 1 //[0=No, 1=Yes (default=0)]
pb_SsOptions 640 480 50 50 1 //- Set local PB screenshot options
pb_load pbcllog.cfg //load remote logging settings (if pbcllog.cfg exists)

close rename it again to pbcl.cfg join a server and type this commands
to see if this works.

PB_MyGuid
PB_PList
PB_GetSs <---- screenshots are broken win xp directx 9 and win7 directx 11 tested...

edit*

Note for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users

Please note that Windows Vista and Windows 7 stores the logs and other PB files outside the game folder commonly located at:
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\<Game>\pb\
You can enter this to view the PunkBuster working folder for the current user and select the game you wish to setup logging for:
%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\Local\PunkBuster\
or %LOCALAPPDATA%\PunkBuster\
