Here is an easier way to check for VT or 64bit capability.

i hope this command will work on windows server only where as i want check this informtion in bios whether the VT is enabled or not , some of the bios will not have this option ,for that we need to update the bios software , provided by Mother board comapany, VT is compulsary for installing esx servers
Thanks

Please note that the document you reference indicates that the dbs should be disabled. In your example you are enabling it.

Asaf, the 8 series Dells do not support intel VT so cannot support 64-bit guests.

You will need to find different hardware.

On my search, yours was one of the pages that mentioned how to fix this setting. I have now enabled “CPU Virtualization Technology”. Thanks.

It seems to me that the BIOS is not storing the VT setting on your systems. I checked my “PowerEdge 1950 III” and the setting was still on after a reboot, followed by a shutdown.

Does a later BIOS update fix this issue? What BIOS version do you have on those Dell 1950′s? My BIOS version is 2.5.0

Hi,
It seems that there is no source code, code example for it.
I am tring to verify if the VT flag is disable / enable (on windows).
Code eample for this issue will be very halpful.

Thank you so much for informaton on how to enable virtualization via OMCONFIG. I have several PE1950′s and was worried how I would turn it on at our datacenter halfway across town in a punch to allow VMWware 2.0 to support a 64 bit host.
