    Good day, @pantagruel

    Is there a way already to integrate MSDM table, apart from SLIC, into UEFI ROMs? i.e., EFI64/EFI20-64.ROM.

    As a matter of fact, all of my attempts to try to achieve that were all failed.

    I'm a little rusty on that topic, but there was some discussion about it years ago. Did you see this thread?

    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dm-table-of-vmware.46845/page-12#post-1516924

    Basically, it involves specifying the MSDM table in the .vmx. I'm not sure you can integrate it into the EFI.

    Hi @pantagruel,

    Thank you for your reply. I've gone through that thread and I saw no one successfully integrated MSDM table into any of EFI ROMs, please correct me if I missed that part out, except for inserting a line 'acpi.addtable.filename = msdm' into the .vmx as you wrote.

    So, it looks nothing to do further but to stick to that workaround until someone works it out. And thank you anyway.

    But still nothing work good with turned on vbs and especially memory integrated. So i don't know why Microsoft pressure on it if Virtualbox and Vmware (all) have problems only. But...

    This has probably been asked before, but.. Is there something similar for Windows Server 2025?
