Subject: [PATCH qemu-server] fix #5578: smbios: set serial number
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:29:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218142935.99693-1-m.federanko@proxmox.com> (raw)
If no smbios options are given on creation, default to generate a serial
number. This is required for Windows Autopilot to identify a user
device.
