hello,<br />
At work I want to setup a virtual machine with VMWare workstation 12<br />
when we setup a pc, we use SCCM. so I created a new virtual machine, and made it boot to a DVD with the SCCM winPE image on it. <br />
That works fine, however, our SCCM server uses a description in the BIOS to know what image to load, and since the VMWare virtual machine has a generic bios, SCCM fails. <br />
So I was wondering, is there any way to have the VMWare virtual machine's bios look like it's the host machine?

vmware on windows 10

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
