How do I view machine UUID and disk UUID from within a host?












0















What values machine UUID and disk UUID represent for the guest OS? How can I view these values from inside the guest OS?

It seems that machine uuid can be retrieved using wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid, except it shows numbers in the groups in reverse order. Any idea how to retrieve it using the same format as used in VirtualBox? And how do I get disk UUID?
