I've a VMWare Workstation 10.0 Virtual Machine with 1 hard disk configured.
When I use wbemtest to perform the following query in WMI:
SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive
I see the serial number is null.
How can I get VMWare to populate this field? I can't find anywhere in the UI, I've tried adding:
ddb.serialNumber = "dfaklsjdfkajlsd"
to the .vmdk file but this seems to have done nothing.
Any ideas?
I figured it out myself.
In VMWare Workstation if your virtual hard disk type is SCSI then I can find no way of having a serial number. However, create a virtual disk with a type of IDE and it'll have a serial number by default.
