We have an application that is dependent on a valid UUID for licensing purposes.
Newly created VMs all have the UUID set to all zeros:
- wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid
- UUID
- 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
How can we change the VM UUID?
We are able to change the VM BIOS GUID, however the UUID is still all zeros.
Hyper-V host: Dell PowerEdge R720 | Windows Server 2016 Core (fully patched) with Hyper-V Role.
The host does have a valid UUID:
- wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid
- UUID
- 4C4C4544-0058-3610-8037-CAC04F4D4E32
