you can use powershell script to loop through the items in the document library and get the required details out of it. This is the easiest way to do it.

SPListCollection collLists = oWebsite.Lists; foreach (SPList oList in collLists) { if (oList.BaseType == SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary) { SPDocumentLibrary oDocumentLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)oList; if (!oDocumentLibrary.IsCatalog && oList.BaseTemplate != SPListTemplateType.XMLForm) { SPListItemCollection collListItems = oDocumentLibrary.Items; foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems) { //Write your code for documentid //string DocID = oListItem.Properties["_dlc_DocId"].ToString(); } } } }

Is there any way that we can achieve this functionality programatically?

Hello Sivpartap, If you only want to retrive unique id by activating the feature then follow below steps for SharePoint 2010 Go to the top-level site collection. Click Site Actions and then click Site Settings . Under Site Collection Administration, click Site collection features . Next to Document ID Service click Activate . An Active icon appears next to the item and the feature is activated for the current site collection.
