How to determine virtual machine host name "virtual server"

  • 아티클

Recently had a problem where the lab folks forget where my VM was installed to and I needed some RAM added to it.  I needed to find the physical host name of the machine the VM was running on.  Turns out that there is a handy dandy reg key one the VS devs pointed out to me:

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

Hope it helps someone, I spent quite some time trying to figure it out on my own.

    For some reason that key doesn't exist on any of our guests.

    Really? Is it HyperV and have you installed the guest VM tools?
