SNMP and WMIC BIOS GET SERIALNUMBER and VMWare Host

How can a build a system, to get the information on wich VMWare host is hosting my VM?

If i use the WMIC BIOS GET SERIALNUMBER  command,i can get the VMWare Host ID where the VM is running and therefore, try t map in wich VMWare Host the VM is running under.

But insted searchching in all machines, im thinking about and how can I do that by using SNMPwalk or other utility, to grab the information in a centrallized way (i have the solarwinds/orion solution)

im trying to use a snmpwal utility but even bringing all possible OIDs, the same information is not being returned.

The VMs are not aware of what hosts they run on.  You'll need to use some VMWare commands to complete this. 

If you're comfortable with PowerShell, try this reference:
