On Windows servers, the HOSTID is defined by the MAC address of the Primary NIC, so on a Windows server you could get to it by creating workflow to do a Run-process with 'ipconfig /all'. That will provide you with the full output then you'll have to perform some string manipulation to get the value from the MAC attribute.
If you want portability to other platforms (*nix), you'll need to make sure your workflow only if the Server OS is Windows, and develop a similar process to get at that OSes' Host ID.
