hi

as far know, cannot done using scvmm or hyper-v since device description provided network driver. way editing registry keys, cannot recommended might cause damage operating system environment. i'm doing testing in lab see whether can editing registry.

network device description location in (hkey_local_machine\system\controls­et001\control\class). please post if testing success. highly recommend not proceed manipulating registry if these servers catering production environment.
