Hyper-V Registry Setting

  • Artikel

Going through my blogs I spotted this handy tip regarding Registry settings in the child partitions of Hyper-V.

Imagine you have multiple Hyper-V hosts serving multiple guests or child partition, in my setup I always use a tool called BGInfo to put machine relevant information onto my background, now this is quite handy you always have a view on which machine you are working. Now running in a Virtual world I would also be nice to know on which physical machine you are running the VM, the following registry keys will help you find out on which machine you are running:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\Guest\Parameters

HostName
PhysicalHostName
PhysicalHostnameFullyQualified
VirtualMachineName

If you are using the bginfo tool you can adapt the settings to always show the Physicalhostname so you will always know on which Hyper-V host you are running.
