I have been working on setting my first VM environment to speed up testing things like DEP and what not.

There are some things that has to be changed so everything works. Like you have to use a Seiral Number of a machine that is enabled for DEP. Which is easy to understand and where to get that Serial number from.

However, there is one setting, though easy for me to copy paste and it works. I do not understand where people are getting the info. The setting is the CPUID. How are people coming up with the CPUID so that I can set it with VIrtualBox using the following command:

VBoxManage modifyvm "macOS Sierra" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff

WHere did that long 000000....... number get generated from. how can I find that number.

Thanks

Now people is using for Mojave this one: --cpuid-set 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff

So I think with --cpuid-set <leaf[:subleaf]> <eax> <ebx> <ecx> <edx>] you are forcing the VM to an i5 architecture
